Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400ºF. Scrub the potatoes clean, pat dry, and pierce in several places with a fork. Set on an oven rack and bake until very tender when pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.Put the bacon in large skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon bits with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with 2 thickness of paper towel and let drain. Leave about a tablespon of bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add the butter to the skillet over medium-low heat and let melt; stir into the bacon fat in the skillet. Add the leeks, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Set aside a couple of tablespoons of the sautéed leeks for garnish. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute or two.
- Add the broth and water; heat to a simmer and cook until the leeks are tender, about 15 minutes.
- When the potatoes are cool, cut them in half lengthwise. Scoop the flesh out of the skin in one piece from each half. Cut the potato into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.
- Coarsely chop the potato skin and add them plus any loose pieces of potato to the pot with the leeks. Purée the contents of the pot until very smooth using an immersion blender (See Notes about countertop blender). Return the puréed soup to the pot and reheat over medium low.
- Whisk together the milk and sour cream until smooth, add to the soup with 1/2 cup of the Mexican Blend cheese; whisking everything together until the cheese melts.
- If the soup seems too thick, thin it with a little water. Add the cubed potato and stir gently to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with the sour cream, Mexican Cheese, sautéed leeks, and bacon bits.

Steps:
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the leeks and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until soft and wilted, about 10 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary so as not to brown.
- Add the potatoes, broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper to pot and bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft.
- Fish out the thyme sprig and bay leaves, then purée the soup with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, use a standard blender to purée the soup in batches; see note.) Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If soup is too thin, simmer until thickened. If it's too thick, add water or stock to thin it out. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Note: If using a standard blender to purée the soup: be sure not to fill the jar more than halfway; leave the hole in the lid open and cover loosely with a dishtowel to allow the heat to escape; and pour blended soup into a clean pot.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen, without the cream, for up to 3 months. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. Once heated through, add the cream and bring to a simmer before serving.

Add to Dutch oven with the remaining chunky soup. Stir in the cream and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until the soup is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the potatoes and leeks on a sheet pan in a single layer. Add the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and toss to coat the vegetables evenly. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes, turning them with a spatula a few times during cooking, until very tender. Add the arugula and toss to combine. Roast for 4 to 5 more minutes, until the arugula is wilted. Remove the pan from the oven and place over 2 burners. Stir in the wine and 1 cup of the chicken stock and cook over low heat, scraping up any crispy roasted bits sticking to the pan.
- In batches, transfer the roasted vegetables to a food processor fitted with the steel blade, adding the pan liquid and about 5 cups of the chicken stock to make a puree. Pour the puree into a large pot or Dutch oven. Continue to puree the vegetables in batches until they're all done and combined in the large pot. Add enough of the remaining 1 to 2 cups of stock to make a thick soup. Add the cream, creme fraiche, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and check the seasonings.
- When ready to serve, reheat the soup gently and whisk in 2 tablespoons white wine and 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Serve hot with an extra grating of Parmesan and crispy shallots, if using.
- Heat the oil and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it reaches 220 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
- Reduce the heat to low, add the shallots, and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until they are a rich golden brown. The temperature should stay below 260 degrees F. Stir the shallots occasionally to make sure they brown evenly. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon, drain well, and spread out to cool on paper towels. Once they have dried and crisped, they can be stored at room temperature, covered, for several days.

Steps:
- Melt 50g butter in a heavy saucepan. When it foams, add 450g potatoes, cut into 1cm cubes, 1 small onion, cut the same as the potatoes, and 450g white parts of leeks, sliced and toss them in the butter until they are well coated.
- Season well with salt and freshly ground pepper and toss again. Put a disc of greaseproof paper (called a cartouche by chefs) on top of the vegetables to keep in the steam), then cover the pan with its lid.
- Cook over a gentle heat for 10 mins, or until the vegetables are soft but not coloured.
- Uncover the pan and discard the paper. Pour in 850ml of the light chicken or vegetable stock, bring to the boil and simmer until the vegetables are just cooked - about 5 minutes. Do not overcook or the soup will lose its fresh flavour.
- Purée in a blender until silky smooth, in batches if necessary, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Return the soup to a clean pan and stir in three quarters of a 142ml carton of whipping cream and 125ml full-fat milk.
- To finish the soup, finely shred the white part of 1 leek and gently cook it in a small knob of hot butter for a few mins until it is softened but not coloured.
- Reheat the soup to a gentle simmer (add some extra stock at this point if the soup is too thick for your liking), then pour into warmed bowls.
- Drizzle the remaining cream over each serving, top with a little pile of buttered leeks and a scattering of chives and black pepper and serve at once.

BAKED POTATO, LEEK AND CHEESE SOUP
A brilliant way to use up those left over jacket potatoes. The first time I made this soup I didn't have any sour cream so I used 2 fl.oz (60ml) natural yogurt and 2 fl.oz (60ml) double cream. It was a great hit and the soup has remained a popular choice for a warm and filling lunch on cold days.

- Wash and pierce the potatoes several times with a fork. Bake potatoes at 400º for about an hour until done.
- (It's your Irish lucky day: a recipe within a recipe! Save those skins in a ziplock bag in the fridge for dinner the next night. Brush with garlic butter, top with cheese and bacon and broil till cheese is melted and bubbly, and top with sour cream and green onions.)
- Fry 6 slices of bacon. (I do mine in a cast iron skillet inside the oven at 400º for @20 minutes. That way I don't have to turn the bacon, or clean up the spatter on the stovetop.)
