If hot spices aren’t to your taste, use sweet sausage. Substitute broccoli for the cauliflower, if you like-both belong to the same vegetable family. Leeks can have a lot of soil hidden between the layers. To clean them, slice them in half lengthwise and wash under cold running water.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Spray a small non-stick skillet with cooking oil and sauté the sausage over medium heat just until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 minutes. Drain off the fat and set aside.

2. Spray a non-stick saucepan with cooking oil, add the vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Add the garlic and leek and cook for 5 minutes or until softened.

3. Add the stock, cauliflower and potato and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the potato is tender.

4.Transfer to a food processor and purée until smooth. Add the sausage and serve immediately.
