How To Make the pretentious vichyssoise
-
1Clean your leeks carefully, the outer leaves especially get full of sand. (I usually chop them and then place in a colander and rinse). Chop roughly.
-
2Melt butter in saute pan and place the leeks in, and cook on medium until tender, but not browned.
-
3Transfer to a soup pot and add potatoes and the stock. Cook until potatoes are done about 30 minutes.
-
4Carefully transfer to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree. Add cream, and adjust for seasoning.
