Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil
20 g unsalted butter
1 leek, sliced
600 g desiree potatoes, peeled, diced
1 liter chicken stock
3 (500 g) lebanese cucumbers, trimmed, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
2 tbsp olive oil, extra
2 tbsp champagne or 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
12 medium green prawns, peeled, deveined or 12 medium perhaps twice this number of smaller shrimp
fresh ground black pepper, to serve
extra virgin olive oil, to serve
fresh dill

Directions:

Melt the oil with the butter in a large, deep pan over a medium heat; add the leek and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes or until it has softened soft; add the potato and chicken stock and bring the stock slowly to the boil; reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the potato is soft; transfer to a large bowl and cool.
When cool, cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold; add the Lebanese cucumber and minced garlic to the soup mixture; using a hand-held stick blender or food processor, process the mixture until a thick smooth soup forms; cover, and refrigerate until required.
Put the extra oil, the champagne or vinegar and the prawns in a medium heavy-based pan, bring slowly to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the prawns turn orange; divide the prawns between 4 bowls (reserving several if using smaller shrimp rather than prawns) and season with pepper; ladle the soup into the bowls, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, add any reserved shrimps and a sprig of dill or parsley and serve.
