Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent (2-3 minutes). Add garlic, leeks and potatoes and fry for another 4-5 minutes.
Add bay leaves and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Pour in stock and cover with a lid. Bring to a light boil then turn down to simmer. Cook for another 20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through and tender.
Meanwhile, heat a skillet and lightly toast the hazelnuts for about 3-5minutes. Watch carefully as they burn quickly. Set aside until ready to garnish.
Remove the bay leaves and the sprig or thyme (if using) along with 2 heaping cups of leaks and potatoes from the pot. This will be the garnish for the soup.
Using a handheld blender, blend the remaining soup until smooth. Use caution when blending as soup will be very hot. Alternatively, you can transfer in batches to a standing blender. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If you find the soup too thick add more vegetable stock. If it’s too thin return to pot and cook down until desired consistency is achieved.
Chop the reserved 2 cups of leeks and potatoes into tiny pieces. Divide the soup into bowls. Garnish with chopped leeks, potatoes, hazelnuts and parsley. Season with extra salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot.
