Soothing Leek Soup

Directions

Melt butter in a heavy saucepan.

Add onion and leek and cook slowly; stirring often, until soft.

Stir in broth, then add potato.

Cover and cook until potato is tender.

Cool, then process in a food processor or blender until pureed.

In another saucepan, bring cream to a gentle simmer, cook until just slightly reduced, then stir in leek mixture and heat until very hot (but don’t boil).

Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Serve hot. Sprinkle 1 Tbl. cheese over each serving and offer a shot of the wine on the side.
