Step By Step Instructions
Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full method.
Step 1 - Chop The Onion & Leeks
Mix the leeks and halved onion until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
Step 2 - Saute
Add the butter and garlic and saute until soft.
Step 3 - Add The Potatoes
Add the potatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Step 4 - Cook
Add the liquid chicken stock and season with salt and pepper.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT exceed the MAX line at any stage. Use less liquid stock if you are nearing the MAX line.
Cook for 20 minutes. Remove the MC before cooking, but place the rice basket over the whole to catch any splatters.
Allow the soup to cool slightly before pureeing (do not attempt to puree while the soup is very hot as this can be very dangerous).
Add the cream and mix through gently.
Serve with crispy bacon (optional).
Expert Tips & FAQ
It's important that you never exceed the MAX line. If you're nearing the line, simply omit the excess liquid stock you have.
Remove the lid and allow the soup to cool for a few minutes before replacing the lid and pureeing. Start off on Speed 1 before very slowly increasing to Speed 6. If the machine starts to shudder or shake, go back down to Speed 1 and increase ever so slightly.
Store this soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

I have made this 6 or 7 times now and this is super easy and such a crowd pleaser. Even my very fussy non vegetable earring child loves and requests it every week!
Adding bacon or chicken bacon makes it and heated soup buns.
Delicious!
