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