Creamy Leek & Smoked Salmon Soup

Step 1

Peel & cube the potato.

Step 2

Wash the leek. Remove the dark green leaves & the root. Cut the rest into thick rings.

Step 3

Peel the onion & cut into large pieces.

Step 4

Add a drizzle of olive oil to a pot over medium heat. Add the onion, leek, potato, salt & pepper. Stir & cook for 3 min.

Step 5

Crumble the bouillon cube into the pot. Add 1/2 c of water (per person) & stir. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 min, or until the leek is fork-tender.

Step 6

Add 2/3 of the sour cream to the pot, reserving the rest for garnish.

Step 7

Use an immersion blender, blender or food processor to purée the soup. It should be silky smooth. If too thick, add more water.

Step 8

Serve the soup topped with curls of smoked salmon, dollops of sour cream, salt, pepper & a drizzle of oil. Enjoy!
