Ingredients

  • 500 g Potatoes Peeled and diced
  • 300 g Leeks Washed and sliced

  • 1 litre Vegetable Stock
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 150 ml Single Cream
  • Salt To taste
  • Black Pepper To taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent.
  • Add the sliced leeks and diced potatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
  • Return the soup to the stove and stir in the single cream. Heat it gently without boiling.
  • Season the soup with salt and black pepper according to your taste.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives.

Notes

When using the immersion blender, be cautious as the soup will be hot. You can also let it cool slightly before blending for safety.
This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete meal.
