Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Serves: 4-6

This soup is actually good hot or cold. I find either way, if I make it and chill it completely before serving, the subtle layers of flavor that exist in the scallions and leeks really come to the forefront.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cups half and half

1 small bunch chives, thinly sliced—basil or oregano leaves great too…

Instructions

  2. Add the leeks and scallions. Season them with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook them over high heat for 3-5 minutes, until they become translucent.
  4. Add the water and half and half. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring from time to time with a wooden spoon. Taste for seasoning.
  5. Puree the soup in batches in the blender until smooth or slightly chunky depending on your personal taste. Top with herbs, chives, basil or oregano leaves….
