Servings: persons

4 whole Leeks
1 whole Small Onion
4 cloves Garlic
4 whole Spring Onions
2 pounds, 3-1/3 ounces, weight Potatoes
4 Tablespoons Ghee
1 whole Bay Leaf
4 cups, 3 tablespoons, 1-7/8 teaspoons, 1/4 pinches Chicken Stock (store Bought Or Home-made If You Have It!)
3-5/8 ounces, weight Stilton
Salt To Taste
Optional Garnishes: Sour Cream, Lemon Wedges, Chopped Spring Onions

1
Wash and chop the leeks. Chop the onion, mince garlic and chop the spring onions for later use. Wash and chop potatoes into large chunks.
2
Heat the ghee over a medium heat in a large, heavy bottom pot. Add onions, leeks and a good pinch of salt. Saute until lightly softened, approximately 5 minutes. Add garlic and toss gently for about 30 seconds. Add potatoes and bay leaf and then add the stock. Bring to a rolling boil.
3
Turn heat down and leave to simmer until vegetables have softened. This will depend on the size of your potatoes but should take about 30 - 45 minutes.
4
Then, remove half of the soup and place it in another pan. Puree the remaining half (by putting it in a blender, or using an immersion blender) and then pour the chunky soup back into the puree and stir.
5
Crumble the stilton and divide between 6 serving bowls. Ladle soup into bowls. Top each bowl with a spoonful of sour cream and a small handful of the chopped spring onions.
6
Add a lemon twist if desired, and plenty of salt and pepper. Serve with a small wedge of light buttered toast.
