Instructions
- 1
Finely chop 2 leeks and soften them in 1 tablespoon butter for 6 minutes without letting them brown.
6 min06:00 - 2
Add 2 potatoes and 4 cups of water, then cook until the potatoes are tender.
20 min20:00 - 3
Blend the soup until smooth and press it through a sieve so no fibers remain.
- 4
Add the cream and warm over low heat for 2 minutes. If you boil it, the texture will become heavy.
2 min02:00 - 5
Bring it to room temperature, chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours, and serve with chives.
2 hr120:00 - 6
Check the salt again before serving cold, because aromas are muted in cold soup.
💡 Tip: Serving the soup only after it is fully chilled brings the leek, potato, and cream into balance.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in chilled bowls with finely chopped chives.
