Come preparare

1
Melt 30 g of the butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced leeks and salt, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until very soft but not browned.
2
Add the potato cubes, vegetable stock, bay leaf, thyme, and white pepper. Raise the heat and bring the liquid to a gentle boil, then reduce to low.
3
Cover loosely and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway, until the potatoes are completely tender and can be easily pierced with a knife.

4
Remove the bay leaf and thyme stems. Blend the soup with an immersion blender until smooth, or blend in batches with the lid vented, taking care with the hot liquid.
5
Stir in the remaining 10 g butter and the crème fraîche. Warm over low heat for 2 minutes without boiling, then taste and adjust the salt and white pepper.
6
Ladle into warmed bowls and serve immediately, adding a small spoonful of crème fraîche and a little white pepper if desired.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Sweating the leeks in butter develops sweetness without harsh browning, while potatoes release just enough starch to create a naturally creamy texture. A little crème fraîche balances the soup with fresh acidity.

Conservazione e riscaldamento

Come conservarla

Cool the soup promptly, refrigerate it in a covered container, and use within 3 days. It can be frozen without the crème fraîche for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Come riscaldarla

Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until steaming hot throughout. Do not let it boil vigorously, especially after adding crème fraîche.
