1
Prepare the Ingredients
Clean and slice the leeks, chop the potatoes into cubes, and mince the garlic.
2
Sauté the Leeks and Garlic
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
3
Add Potatoes and Broth
Add the chopped potatoes to the pot, and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
4
Blend the Soup
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.
5
Stir in Cream and Season
Return the blended soup to the pot, stir in the heavy cream, and season with salt and black pepper. Heat through.
6
Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chives.
