Ingredients
- 2 medium leeks chopped
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 prigs fresh thyme
- 1 kg (2lb) potatoes peeled and cubed
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp white pepper
- 1 cup cream
To serve
- crispy bacon
- grated cheddar cheese
- sour cream
- chopped chives
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot the the sauté function.
- Melt a knob of butter or add a splash of olive oil. Add the leeks, onion and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Add the peeled and cubed potatoes, thyme and bay leaf then season with salt and white pepper.
- Black pepper can also be used but white pepper is slightly gentler and works better in the soup, in my opinion. Pour in the stock.
- Place the lid on the pot then turn the vent to Sealing. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes then quick release the pressure.
- Remove the thyme and bay leaf then transfer the soup to a blender (or use a stick blender) and blend until smooth.
- If the soup is too thick, add more stock. Pour the blended soup back into the Instant Pot then pour in the cream.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the soup in bowls topped with sour cream, crispy bacon, cheese and chives.
