Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 white onion
  • 2 pieces leek
  • 2 potatoes
  • 6 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup cooking cream
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

Leek cream soup:

  • Wash the onion, potatoes, and white part of the leek and slice them. Keep the green part of the leek for later.
  • Add a bit of vegetable oil to a pan and fry the vegetables for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the milk and salt.
  • Simmer over low heat until the vegetables soften.
  • Put the vegetables in a blender and blend them while gradually adding the cooking cream.
  • You may use the green part of the leek to make an emulsion. Chop it and blend. Gradually add oil (similar to mayonnaise).
  • Using a colander, strain the mix to obtain a smooth texture.

Plating:

  • You can add fried bacon or fried onion if comfort food is what you crave or various spices and herbs for even more flavor.
