Creamy Leek Soup

Difficulty:

Preparation time: 50min.

Now that winter is coming, with Bouchon we both have this crave for hot soups and we also like soups because they are vegetarian and healthy. This one is a bit of a fatty one though I guess, with all the cheese, cream and oil… But hey you have to fight winter cold somehow!! By the way, I know it looks exactly the same as my Vichyssoise, but it’s different =)

Ingredients

• 500g of leek
• 2 garlic cloves
• 150mL of cream
• 100g of grated Gruyère cheese
• 100g of cream
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1L of broth
• salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Wash, peel and and chop the white part of the leek.
2. In a soup pan, brown slightly the leek and garlic with the olive oil.
3. Add the broth. Let cook 30 minutes at low fire.
4. Mix with a hand blender. Add the cream and the cheese and let cook 5 more minutes without boiling.
5. Season with salt and pepper.

Bon appétit!
