Ingredients

  • 3 leeks
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp cooking salt
  • 4 peeled potatoes
  • 1 L of Massel Vegetable Stock
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • Fresh chopped chives
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  • Start by topping and tailing your leeks, removing the tough ends. Slice them thinly, using only the white and pale green parts.
  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the leeks and season with 1 tsp of salt. Stir the leeks to coat them evenly with the oil and allow them to sweat down, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  • While the leeks are cooking, dice the potatoes. When the leeks are done, add to the pot. Stir to combine. Allow the potatoes to cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the Massel vegetable stock. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Once the potatoes are soft, remove the pot from heat. Using a blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a drizzle of sour cream. Garnish with fresh chives and a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper.
