- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chives, chopped, for garnish
Preparation:
Sauté the Leeks:
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté until they are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the Apples:
Stir in the chopped apples and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Add the Broth:
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, until the leeks and apples are tender.
Blend the Soup:
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, be sure to blend in batches and vent the lid to prevent steam buildup.
Chill the Soup:
Transfer the soup to a bowl and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate the soup for at least 2 hours, or until it is well chilled.
Serve:
Ladle the chilled soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives. Enjoy this refreshing Leek and Apple Cold Soup on a hot day!
