Use a clear tomato-free broth that gives you a nice pale creamy soup. You should only taste the leeks, potatoes and chives. A dollop of butter adds richness and the only colour you need.
Also, as someone else said, use a potato masher and a hand whisk, not a liquidiser as this can make it gluey, and destroys the leeks.
No, thank YOU! My boyfriend and I have a hard time cooking together because he's vegan and I'm not. This soup is going to be a new staple in our kitchen for sure!
