- 4 Leeks cleaned & sliced, greens discarded
- 1 onion medium, finely chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
To garnish:

Instructions
- In a large stainless steel pot, heat the butter until sizzling. This will take about one minute.
- Add potato, leeks and onions. Give a good toss for a few minutes with salt and pepper. Now reduce the heat to medium low and cover. Leave to cook for a further 12 - 15 minutes. Check every few minutes to make sure it isn't sticking and stir if necessary.
- Once the vegetables are soft, add all the stock at once and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 8 minutes.
- Blend the soup in batches and return to the pot. Add the cream and bring to a boil for just a minute. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 2 - 3 minutes until all flavours are blended.
- Serve topped with cheese, parsley and fresh ground black pepper.
