Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 450 g Leek
  • 450 g White onions
  • 2 Bay leaf
  • 4 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 10 Black peppercorns
  • 2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 l Vegetable stock
  • 250 ml Dairy-free cream

Instructions
 

  • Top and tail the onions and peel. Slice the onions evenly - no thicker than a coin.
  • Cut the leeks lengthwise and rinse between layers to remove any grit/dirt. Pat dry.
  • Slice the leek - the white and light green part only. Slice evenly and not too thick. Set aside the dark green bits of the leek for vegetable stock.
  • In a pot, heat olive oil, add the bay leaf and peppercorns. Over a gentle heat, caramelise the onions until they are golden brown.
  • Once the onions are ready, add the leek and salt and sauté until the leek is soft.
  • Add the vegetable stock, cover, and bring to a boil. When it comes to a boil, simmer, uncovered, for ten minutes.
  • Puree the soup.
  • Bring the soup back to the stove and stir in the cream over medium heat. Serve hot. You can serve it garnished with a swirl of vegan cream, or a swirl of pesto, or a sprinkling of seeds.
