Blue Cheese and Bacon Soup

3 T. butter
2 leeks (white part only), halved lengthwise, washed well and chopped
2 C. sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 C. cauliflower, broken into small florets
2 cans (14 1/2 oz. each) reduced-sodium chicken broth, plus 1/2 C. water
5 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add leeks, mushrooms and cauliflower. Cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broth and water; bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, until vegetables are very tender. Puree soup in batches in a blender or food processor. Return pureed soup to soup pot. Add blue cheese to last batch of soup and puree until smooth. Heat through, if necessary. Before serving, top with crumbled bacon.
