Guy's Potato Onion Soup
Serves 4
2 tbsp butter
1 large onion or 2 small leeks, peeled and chopped
3 baking potatoes, peeled, chopped or 2 cups mashed potatoes
4 cups vegetable of chicken stock
Maldon salt and fresh ground white pepper, to taste
1/2 cup whole milk or light cream, as desired
fresh chives, for garnish
Heat the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and season with Maldon salt and white pepper. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until the onion is soft but not coloured. Add potato and stock. Increase heat to high. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, partially covered, for 20-30 minutes or until potato is very soft, or if using leftover mashed potato, simply cook uncovered for 5-6 minutes until warmed through. Uncover, and set aside to cool slightly. Use a stick blender to blend until smooth, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in the milk or cream as desired, heating the soup through over medium-low. To serve, pour into warmed bowls and garnish with a fresh chopped chives. Serve immediately.
