Steps
1 Done | Start from the potatoes. Wash them, peel and slice. After that, wash and slice the leek. Then, place all vegetables into a casserole with cold water. Simmer the soup, partially covered for 40-50 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Turn off the heat and leave the casserole. Tip: Vegetables have a richer taste when they are left in a covered casserole. That’s why, leave the half-ready soup on the stove for 10 minutes. |
2 Done | Meanwhile, chop the parsley and cut the green pen of the leek in stitches. Place the soup in a blender and add the cream with butter to it. Blend the soup. The soup is now ready - place it in the soup plates. Decorate the soup with the parsley, cream, leek and watercress leaves. Voila! |
