Directions:
- When measuring the watercress leaves and stems, pack them down in the measuring cup.
- Simmer leeks, potatoes, water and salt together, partially covered, 40-50 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Stir in watercress and simmer 5 minutes.
- While the watercress is simmering, you can prepare the following optional garnish if you wish: a small handful of watercress leaves boiled 30 seconds, rinsed in cold water and drained.
- Mash the vegetables in the soup with a fork, or puree in blender. Correct seasoning.
- Off heat and just before serving, stir in cream or butter by spoonfuls. Decorate with the optional watercress leaves.
