Preparation
- Step 1
Wash leeks or peel onions. Slice or chop.
- Step 2
Combine the water or stock, potatoes, leeks or onions, garlic, salt and pepper in a saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat so the mixture simmers steadily. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool or chill. Then season to taste.
- Step 3
Puree in a blender, in batches if necessary, and chill completely. Stir in the cream or half-and-half. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve, garnished with parsley or chervil.
