Ingredients:

6 tbsp butter
81g
2 leeks
180g
1 fennel bulb
230g
1 onion
110g
3 garlic cloves
9g
12 potatoes
2040g
1 apple
180g
6 cups vegetable broth
1440g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
240g
3 tbsp lemon juice
44g
2 tbsp tarragon (estragon)
12g
1 tsp chili sauce
4g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Clean and finely slice the leeks.
- Finely chop the fennel bulb and the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Peel and dice the potatoes.
- Peel, core, and dice the apple.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the leeks, fennel, and onion. Sauté until they become translucent and start to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Cook the Potatoes and Apple:
- Add the diced potatoes and apple to the pot. Stir to combine with the sautéed vegetables.
4. Add the Broth and Seasonings:
- Pour in the vegetable broth.
- Season with salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
5. Blend the Soup:
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, working in batches, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot if using a blender.
6. Add Cream and Flavorings:
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream.
- Add the lemon juice and chopped tarragon.
- Stir in the chili sauce for a spicy kick.
7. Adjust Seasoning and Serve:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional chopped tarragon if desired.
- Serve hot with crusty bread or your favorite side.

Tips:

- When washing the leeks, make sure to thoroughly clean between the layers to remove any hidden dirt.

- For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to puree it directly in the pot, or transfer it in batches to a countertop blender.

- If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of chili sauce or omit it entirely.

- Taste the soup before adding the lemon juice and adjust the seasoning as needed.

- For an added depth of flavor, consider roasting the fennel and garlic before adding them to the soup.
