Frequently asked questions
What is leek cream ?
Leek cream is a velvety and creamy soup made with leeks, onions, potatoes, and broth. It can be served hot or cold according to preferences.
Can this recipe be made with magimix ?
Yes, absolutely ! The magimix is perfectly suited to make this recipe. It allows for precise blending of ingredients and even cooking.
How to properly clean leeks before using in the recipe ?
To clean leeks, remove the damaged outer leaves and cut them in half lengthwise. Rinse each half carefully under running water, making sure to eliminate any traces of sand or dirt between the layers.
Should the potatoes used in the recipe be peeled ?
It depends on personal preferences. If you want a smoother and more uniform texture for your cream, it is recommended to peel the potatoes before using. Otherwise, you can also keep the skin if they are well washed.
How long should the soup be cooked in the magimix ?
Generally, allow about 20 to 25 minutes of cooking in the magimix to obtain a well-cooked and creamy soup. However, the duration may vary depending on the specific settings of your device.
Can other vegetables be added to this recipe ?
Yes, you can customize your leek cream by adding other vegetables like carrots or celeriac. Simply cut them into pieces and add them during the initial preparation with the leeks.
Can a bouillon cube be used to prepare the broth used in the recipe ?
Yes, you can use a bouillon cube to prepare the broth needed for the recipe. However, make sure to adjust the amount of salt used compared to other ingredients to avoid making your cream too salty.
How to add more flavor to my leek cream ?
To enhance the flavor of your cream, you can add some fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme during cooking. You can also add a tablespoon of fresh cream before the final blending for extra creaminess.
Is it possible to adjust the thickness of my cream according to my taste ?
Absolutely ! If you find that your cream is too thick after blending in the magimix, you can simply add some hot broth to lighten it. If, on the contrary, it is too liquid for your liking, let it cook for a few more minutes to reduce the liquid.
