Method

1
Peel and chop the potatoes. Halve, rinse, and slice the leeks. Include the green parts as well, but discard any dry parts. Peel and finely chop the onion.
2
Sauté the leeks and onion in oil in a pot until they soften slightly. Do not brown. Add the potatoes, water, and stock concentrate. Season with thyme.
3
Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
4
Purée the vegetables and cooking liquid until smooth using a hand blender or a regular blender.
5
Finally, stir in the cooking cream and season with salt and pepper. Heat through, taste to adjust seasoning, and give it a final whip with the hand blender for a light and airy texture.
