Its simple to make, cosy and comforting yet also luxurious and elegant.
I love how this Leek Soup can be Couch Food OR an elegant starter for a dinner party.
Good food is a universal language!

Its rustic, cosy, and often generous on the butter and cheese.
Hence French food and I are very good friends.
Leek soup is another such example.
(Though, shockingly, no cheese!).
Few ingredients, prepared well, simple to make, and so enjoyable.
Leeks are sweeter and have a more subtle flavour than onions.
But vegetable stock is also ideal here!
This soup is still thick and creamy even without, it just adds a luxurious mouthfeel.
- Common problem with Potato Leek Soups that call for blitzing to death until completely smooth.
Power of blender = activates starch in potatoes = gluey.
Same thing that happens if you use a food processor or blender formashed potato!
How to cut leeks
Trim the root off.
Its kind of like caramelising onions forFrench Onion Soup except we dont take it as far.
Blitz, stir in cream and serve!
I like to serve mine with croutons.
Just a teeny tiny sprinkle of crunchy buttery bread somehow magically makes any soup so much more fabulous.
Carb on carb fabulousness!
