• Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, buttermilk, and white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately, or chill and serve cold.

POTATO LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• Season the soup: Add the parsley, and cook a few minutes more. Add a few dashes of Tabasco to taste. Add freshly ground pepper and more salt to taste. (Potatoes soak up salt, so you may need to add more salt than you expect.)

POTATO AND LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• Combine the first 11 ingredients in a 4- or 5-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until vegetables are tender, 8-10 hours., Before serving, combine sour cream with 1 cup soup; return all to the slow cooker. Stir in bacon and discard bay leaf.

SOUP MAKER LEEK AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Put the potatoes, onions, most of the leeks (keep a handful of the white leek for later) and chicken stock into a soup maker and press the 'smooth soup' function. Make sure you don't fill the soup maker above the max fill line.
• Once the cycle has complete, add most of the cream and all the milk, and blend again briefly. Use the 'keep warm' or 'heat' function to keep the soup warm while you make the topping.
• Finely shred the remaining white part of the leek. Heat the butter in a small frying pan, and gently cook the leek for a few mins until it is softened but not coloured.
• Drizzle the remaining cream over the soup, and top with the leeks, a scattering of chives and some black pepper.

EASY POTATO AND LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the potatoes and broth and allow to simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
• In a separate skillet over medium heat, saute the leeks in the butter or margarine for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Add the leeks and the cream to the potatoes and stir well. (Note: This is the point I like to take a potato masher and slightly thicken the soup.)

POTATO AND LEEK SOUP (CREAMY BUT NO CREAM!)

Steps:

• Saute leeks and onion in olive oil for 10 min on med/low heat until soft and fragrant.
• In a large pot, boil broth. Add sautéed leeks and onion, garlic, potato cubes and spices. Cover and simmer for 20-30 min, until potatoes are very soft and fall apart when forked.
• Puree the soup with a blender or immersion blender. Make sure not to fill the blender more than 1/2 way so soup doesn't go flying (blend portions at a time). Pour soup back in pot and reheat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

LEEK & POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Melt 50g butter in a heavy saucepan. When it foams, add 450g potatoes, cut into 1cm cubes, 1 small onion, cut the same as the potatoes, and 450g white parts of leeks, sliced and toss them in the butter until they are well coated.
• Season well with salt and freshly ground pepper and toss again. Put a disc of greaseproof paper (called a cartouche by chefs) on top of the vegetables to keep in the steam), then cover the pan with its lid.
• Cook over a gentle heat for 10 mins, or until the vegetables are soft but not coloured.
• Uncover the pan and discard the paper. Pour in 850ml of the light chicken or vegetable stock, bring to the boil and simmer until the vegetables are just cooked - about 5 minutes. Do not overcook or the soup will lose its fresh flavour.
• Purée in a blender until silky smooth, in batches if necessary, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Return the soup to a clean pan and stir in three quarters of a 142ml carton of whipping cream and 125ml full-fat milk.
• To finish the soup, finely shred the white part of 1 leek and gently cook it in a small knob of hot butter for a few mins until it is softened but not coloured.
• Reheat the soup to a gentle simmer (add some extra stock at this point if the soup is too thick for your liking), then pour into warmed bowls.
• Drizzle the remaining cream over each serving, top with a little pile of buttered leeks and a scattering of chives and black pepper and serve at once.
