Ingredients
600 g potatoes, peeled, chopped
300 leek, only white parts, chopped
1½ lt vegetable stock
70 g butter
350 ml double cream
a few drops truffle oil (optionally)
salt, pepper
Method
Step 1
In a pan heat the butter, add leek and potatoes and cook gently until soft but not colored. Then add stock, cover with lid and simmer on low heat for 1 hour or until very tender.
Step 2
Remove pan from heat, season with salt and pepper according to your taste and allow to cool for a few minutes. Transfer in a blender and whizz until really smooth. Keep warm.
Step 3
Beat double cream with a little salt using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Refrigerate until needed.
Step 4
To serve, reheat the soup if necessary, then pour into cappuccino-style cups and top with spoonfuls of whipped cream. Drizzle with a few drops of truffle oil if using.
