Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes
- 2 leeks
- 1 large onion
- 150 grams smoked bacon
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 liter chicken or vegetable stock
- 100 milliliters heavy cream
- 10 grams fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Set aside.
Trim and wash the leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice them thinly.
Peel and finely chop the onion.
Dice the smoked bacon into small pieces.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the smoked bacon and cook until it begins to crisp, stirring occasionally.
Add the onions and leeks to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and translucent.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the bacon, leeks, and onions.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, but do not let it boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Optionally, serve with crusty bread on the side.
