Cooking Instructions

Sauté leeks over medium heat for several minutes, until tender. Add potatoes and enough stock to cover; cook until potatoes start to crumble. Puree mixture in blender, adding more stock as necessary to thin out. Finish soup with cream. Strain through a china cap. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with crispy fried leeks, chopped chives, bacon bits and a drizzle of truffle oil.

*Manufacturing cream contains 33% butterfat (as opposed to heavy cream which contains 31% butterfat) and makes for a richer, more velvety soup. Heavy cream may be substituted.
