Ingredients

    1 Head Cauliflower, chopped
    1 Leek, chopped
    1 Carrot, chopped
    1 large Celery stalk, chopped
    1 clove garlic, minced
    2 cups water

Bring the water to a boil. Add the cauliflower, leek, carrot and celery. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes (until vegetables are tender). Remove from heat. DO NOT DRAIN.

Put in a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until smooth.

Melt the butter in a 3 QT sauce pan over medium heat. Stir in the flour. Continue stirring until smooth and bubbly. Add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil for 1 minute.

Turn the heat to medium-low and add the vegetable mixture and spices, mixing well. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Stir in the fat free Half & Half and heat another minute or so. DO NOT BOIL.
