Instructions
- Clean the leeks: Wash, top, and tail them, discarding the wilted dark green ends (about 1 inch/ 2 cm). Slice them lengthwise, starting at the transition between the white and the green part and moving the knife towards the top of the plant.
- Wash leeks: Fan open the layers without taking the leek apart and rinse under cold running water until all the dirt is removed.
- Chop leeks and onion. Set aside.3 large leeks, 1 onion
- Fry ground pork: Heat the oil and fry the ground pork until brown, add a pinch of ground caraway, the grated garlic clove, and some salt and pepper. If using Mett, you will not have to spice the meat.1 tablespoon oil, 350 g/ 12.5 oz ground pork
- Add the leeks and the onion and cook, stirring well a few times in between, for 3-4 minutes.
- Simmer soup: Add vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes or until the leeks are soft.1 liter/ 4 cups vegetable broth
- Add cheese: Break the cheese triangles into smaller pieces and add them to the soup. Stir very well until the soup is completely smooth and there are no cheese clumps inside it anymore.Let simmer for a couple of minutes. The soup is supposed to be very thick, but you could add a bit more broth if you find too thick.300 g/ 10.5 oz laughing cow cheese
- Adjust the taste with salt and generously with freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve with bread.
Notes
- If cooking the soup in Germany, you can buy Mett.
