Let's Cook

Step 1.
Heat butter and oil in large pot on medium. Add the onion, leek and salt and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until very tender (but not brown), 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 2.
Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute. Add cauliflower, broth and cream and simmer until cauliflower is tender, 15 to 18 minutes.

Meanwhile, make chive oil: In blender, puree chives and oil until smooth. Transfer mixture to small saucepan and cook on medium until it begins to simmer, about 3 minutes. Pour hot mixture through a coffee filter set over a measuring cup to strain.

Step 4.
Using immersion blender (or standard blender, working in batches), puree soup until smooth.
