• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

Trim and wash the leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice them thinly.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the onion.

Step 4

Dice the smoked bacon into small pieces.

Step 5

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the smoked bacon and cook until it begins to crisp, stirring occasionally.

Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the bacon, leeks, and onions.

Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 10

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender, then return it to the pot.

Step 11

Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, but do not let it boil.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 13
