Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 potato, peeled and very finely cubed
1 lb leek, washed and chopped
4 cups vegetable stock
9 oz soft spreadable cheese with garlic and herbs
salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 slices white bread
3 1/2 oz soft spreadable cheese with garlic and herbs (or plain if preferred)
chopped chives (to garnish )

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and gently cook the potato until tender. Add the leeks and sweat with the lid on for about 5 minutes.
Add the vegetable stock, bring to the boil and cook for 20 minutes.
Put the soft cheese with garlic and herbs into a bowl. Add a few spoons of soup and blend together with a fork to make a thick, creamy consistency. Stir into the hot soup and season to taste.
Toast the bread on both sides and remove the crusts. Cut into bite-sized croutons and spread one side of each with soft cheese.
Place on a baking sheet and pop under the broiler for a few seconds until golden and bubbling.
Heat the soup through gently, but do not boil.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each one with a few croutons. Sprinkle some chopped chives over and serve.
