Lovely. I tripled the potatos and halved the leeks and used chicken bone broth and some TMX vegie stock and it was just perfect. Lovely and thick and silky - great process. Thankyou.

I love cold soups. My brother had this served at his summer wedding. It was hilarious listening to lots of people going ' it's cold   '
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
