This creamy soup is surprising in its low fat content and makes for a lovely starter.
Large knob of butter
2 large leeks, halved and finely sliced
1 bay leaf
1kg floury potatoes, diced
1l chicken or vegetable stock
100ml double cream
200g smoked salmon, cut into strips
Small bunch chives, snipped
Heat the butter in a large saucepan and add the leeks and bay leaf.
Cook over a low heat for until the leek is soft, about 10 minutes.
Stir through the potatoes until coated in the butter.
Pour over the stock and cream and bring to a simmer, then allow to bubble gently for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are quite tender.
Add two-thirds of the smoked salmon, stir through and season.
Serve the soup in deep bowls with the remaining smoked salmon and snipped chives on the top.
