One Lonely Leek Soup

Ainekset

1 Tbsp butter

1 shallot chopped finely (alex's note: 1/4 to 1/2 of an onion works fine in a pinch)

1 cup leeks thinly sliced (don't use too much of the dark green portion)

1 cup potato, peeled and diced

2 cups veg stock

1 to 1 1/2 cups cream

salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper to taste

pinch nutmeg

few drops lemon juice

2 oz stilton or other blue cheese

Melt butter in a saucepan. Add shallot/onion and leek, cooking until soft but not browned (about 2-3 minutes).

Add the vegetable stock to the pan. Peel and add the potatoes, cooking until just tender (10-15 minutes). Cool and puree in the food processor.

Separately, heat and reduce the cream; stir into the blended leek mixture. Bring to a gentle boil. Add seasonings and lemon juice.

Pour into bowls and top each with 1/2 ounce crumbled Stilton. (OP says to add the cheese to the actual soup with the lemon juice and seasonings. The first time I made this, I didn't have Stilton, so I'll update if I do I guess).
