Creamy vegetable soup

Ingredients

• 30 grams butter
• 225 grams onions, thinly sliced
• 225 grams leeks, thinly sliced
• 1 heads celery, thinly sliced
• 1 large potato, peeled
• 1 large potato, thinly sliced
• 570 milliliters white stock
• salt
• white pepper, fresh ground
• nutmeg
• 290 milliliters creamy milk
• 1 tablespoons single cream

Directions

Melt the butter in a very large, heavy saucepan. Stir in the onions, leeks and celery and sweat covered with a damp piece of greaseproof paper and a lid on. Stir occasionally, until the whole mass is soft (about 45 minutes).

Add the potatoes and stock, bring to the boil, stirring, and boil for 1 minute. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste and simmer gently for 20 minutes.

Liquidize the soup in a blender or food processor and pass through a sieve.

Reheat and add the cream. Warm the milk and combine with the vegetables.
