Instructions
1 Prep vegetables
Wash, trim and finely slice the leeks (make sure to remove any grit between the leaves). Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-size pieces. Peel and finely chop or crush the garlic. Strip the thymeleaves and chop them finely.
2 Saute leeks
Heat a soup pot over a low heat with the butter. Once hot, add the chopped leeks with a generous pinch of salt and cook, covered, for 7-8 min until very soft but not browned. Once soft, add the garlic and thyme and cook for 30 secs further.
3 Simmer soup
Add the potatoes, bayleaves, stockcube and water. Increase the heat to medium and simmer for 20 min until the potatoes are falling apart.
4 Prep
Meanwhile, finely chop the chives and set aside. Grate the Gruyere. Mix the Dijon mustard with the gratedGruyere and cheddar. Sandwich the cheese mixture in between the sourdoughslices.
5 Fry croutons
Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the cheese sandwiches and place a smaller pan directly on top of them. Place a heavy weight (e.g. several cans) onto the smaller pan and fry for 2-3 min per side until golden. Remove the pan from the heat. Leave the sandwiches in the pan, covered, to keep warm.
6 Blend
Once ready, remove the bayleaves from the soup. Use a hand-held blender to puree the soup until smooth. Add the sourcream, chopped chives and a generous grind of blackpepper. Transfer the sandwiches to a chopping board and chop them into large croutons. Divide the soup among bowls and top with the cheese croutons.
