    Separate 3/4 cup of cauliflower florets and place them in a pan of boiling water. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes, then rinse under cold water and set aside for garnish.

    Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add celery, leek, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, remaining cauliflower, potato, and sherry. Bring to a boil; simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and cauliflower are tender. Remove from heat.

    Ladle into bowls, and garnish with reserved cauliflower pieces and chopped fresh parsley.
