Ingredients
- 3-4 potatoes medium, peeled, cleaned and diced into very small pieces
- 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:
- Grated cheese
- Parsley
- Fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large stainless steel pot, heat the butter until sizzling. Add potato, leeks and onions. Give a good toss for a few minutes with salt and pepper. Now reduce the heat to medium and cover with foil or parchment paper. Then return lid to pan and leave vegetables to cook for a further 12 to 15 minutes. Once the vegetables are soft, add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 8 minutes. Return soup from the pot and blend (in batches if needed) in a blender. Reserve pot. Once the soup is liquidized to a smooth texture, return to pot and add the cream. Bring to a boil once again and reduce to simmer for a few minutes until all flavours are blended.
- Serve topped with cheese, parsley and fresh ground black pepper.
