Ingredients

🧅 800g of leek whites

🥔 400g of potatoes

🧈 40g of butter

🧊 2 chicken bouillon cubes

💧 1.1 liters of water

🥛 200ml of fresh cream

🧂 Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1- Prep the Vegetables:

• Begin by cleaning the leeks, cutting off the dark green parts, and slicing the whites into thin rings.

• Peel and cube the potatoes into small pieces.

2- Sauté the Leeks:

• In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

• Add the sliced leeks and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

• Stir occasionally to prevent browning.

3- Cook the Soup:

• Add the cubed potatoes to the pot, along with the chicken bouillon cubes and water.

• Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

4- Blend the Soup:

• Once the vegetables are cooked, remove the pot from the heat.

• Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth.

• If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend less.

5- Finish with Cream:

• Stir in the fresh cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Return to the heat and gently warm the soup, but do not let it boil.

6- Serve:

• Serve the soup hot, garnished with freshly cracked pepper or a sprinkle of chives if desired.

Cooking Tips

• Be sure not to let the butter brown when sautéing the leeks, as it can alter the flavor of the soup.

• If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of water added or simmer uncovered to let it thicken naturally.
