Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the crunchy croutons. Place the cubed bread in a pan, drizzle with a little olive oil, and toast over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the base vegetables for the soup. Wash the leeks thoroughly and thinly slice the white parts. Peel the onion and slice it thinly.
Step 3
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly. Slicing them thinly will help them cook more evenly and become very tender.
Step 4
In a deep pot, melt the butter and add a little olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced leeks and onions and sauté until the onions become translucent. This step brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables.
Step 5
Once the onions are translucent, add the thinly sliced potatoes and warm chicken stock to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the potatoes are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 6
When the potatoes are fully cooked, use an immersion blender to purée the soup directly in the pot until it’s perfectly smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another minute to combine and enrich the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Step 7
Pour the well-chilled potato soup into serving bowls. Garnish with the crispy croutons and a swirl of extra cold heavy cream, if desired. Enjoy your refreshing and velvety potato soup as a delightful brunch!
