Ingredients
Method
Directions
Cook the Vegetables
In a large pot, combine the leeks, potatoes, onion, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
Blend the Soup
Remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, let the soup cool and blend in batches.
Add Cream and Seasoning
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and white pepper. Mix well to combine.
Chill the Soup
Cover the soup and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Serve
Ladle the chilled soup into demi-tasse cups and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
