Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and peel the potatoes, then chop them into small cubes. Clean the leeks thoroughly, slice them into thin rounds, and chop the celery.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Leeks and Celery

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and celery, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add the chopped potatoes to the pot with the sautéed leeks and celery. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.

  5. 5

    Finish with Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes and then remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy warm. Garnish with additional black pepper or herbs if desired.
