Chilled Leek and Potato Vichyssoise
  1. 1

    Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, then add the leeks and onions. Cook, stirring, until soft but not browned, about 8 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the potatoes and stock; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to low and simmer gently for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend the soup in a blender or food processor until very smooth. Let the soup cool, then transfer it to a bowl or jug and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours. Gently stir in the cream before serving.
