Directions:
- In a large pot, heat oil and butter until butter start bubbling. Add onions and cook until translucent (Not golden.).
- Incorporate chopped leeks, salt and pepper to taste and sauté at medium heat for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the vegetables Stock or broth and bring to boil while stirring.
- Lower down the heat, cover and let simmer for 90 minutes or until leeks fibres are soft. (don’t forget to give it a stir occasionally and keep an eye on the water level, add water as needed. Avoid using broth.).
- Gradually stir in the Gorgonzola until melted down. Let it cool down and put the Soup in the blender until homogeneous consistency. Strain it with a Chinois strainer or any large mesh strainer.
- Put back in the pot, add 2/3 of the cream and warm soup at medium-low (Make sure it does NOT reach boiling point.) until desired temperature is reached.
- Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with crumbled Gorgonzola , roughly cracked peppercorns, oregano leaves and a stream of cream.
- N.B. If you think that the taste of Gorgonzola is to aggressive, you can use dolcelatte instead or just reduce the amount used. At step, 5 I prefer using an Immersion hand blender as it helps taking out longer leeks fibers if you didn’t chop them thin enough. At final step, if you take it to boiling point or warm it at a higher temperature, the cream will coagulate and you will ruin the recipe.
