1 Spanish onion, small dice
1 bunch leeks-white part only-washed, small dice
12 baby white carrots, peeled, medium dice
Pinch ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 ribs celery, medium dice
1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme
1 gallon vegetable stock
1/4 cup roux, for thickening
1 cup heavy cream
3 ounces shredded Gruyere cheese

1
* In an 8-quart soup pot on medium-high, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
2
* Add the carrots, leeks, celery, onion, garlic and fresh thyme.
3
* Saute for 5 minutes and then add the vegetable stock.
4
* Let soup come to a boil and then turn down to a simmer for 40 minutes.

7
* If desired you can strain the soup through a chinois, but is not mandatory.
8
* Check salt and pepper and add the 1 cup of heavy cream right before serving for richness.
9
* Portion into bowls and serve with a little smoked Gruyere cheese on top.
