Ingredients

Directions

  1. Clean and finely chop 2 pounds of leeks, discarding the tough dark green tops.
  2. Melt 2 ounces of butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.
  3. Add the chopped leeks to the melted butter and sauté gently for 15-20 minutes until very soft and translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
  4. Pour in 5 fl oz (2/3 cup) of vegetable stock and bring to a simmer.
  5. Cook for another 5 minutes to allow the leeks to absorb the liquid and soften further.
  6. Transfer the leek mixture to a blender or food processor.
  7. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired, though the stock and butter often provide sufficient flavor.
  9. Return the cream to the pan and warm gently if a hot sauce is preferred, or serve at room temperature.
  10. Serve immediately alongside your chosen main course.
