👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Heat the oil in a pot and fry the leeks in it 5–7 minutes, until it softens.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStovePot
  2. 2
    Add the vegetables and stock and bring to a boil.
    Stove
  3. 3
    Turn down the heat and simmer 5 minutes, until the vegetables is completely tender.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  4. 4
    Blend with the mint with an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
    Stick blender
  5. 5
    Add the cream, season with salt and black pepper and heat another 5 minutes.
    Stove
    💡The cream or cheese goes in after blending, over low heat: a hard boil after adding them can make the soup separate.
  6. 6
    Drizzle a little olive oil over each bowl.
