- Heat the butter in a medium saucepan until sizzling then add the leeks and herbs and sweat gently for 5 mins until soft. Stir the potatoes into the leeks and season with a little salt and lots of freshly ground pepper.
- Pour over the stock and simmer for 10 - 15 mins until the potatoes are on the brink of collapse. Take the tied herbs out of the soup and discard. Stir the cream into the soup off the heat then using a hand blender blitz the soup until smooth. Ladle into bowls and scatter with parsley.
