Prep time; 30 minutes

 

Ingredients

300g Peeled potatoes, cut to a medium dice

400g Leeks, chopped and washed

200g Onions, sliced

100g Butter

1 liter Water

500ml Chicken stock

Bouquet Garni (parsley stalks and thyme wrapped in celery and leek then bound with string)

4 Large scallops

1 tblsp Olive oil

Salt and Pepper

Chopped chives

4 tbsp. double cream

 

Method 

Place the onions and leeks in a saucepan, along with the butter, and cook until soft and without colouring them. Add the water, chicken bouillon, bouquet garni and potatoes and bring to the boil. Season with salt and pepper and reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. After this time remove the bouquet garni then blend with a hand blender until smooth. Finally pass the soup through a sieve and correct the seasoning if required.

 

Season the scallops with salt and pepper, add some olive oil to the non-stick pan and heat well.

 

Now seal off the scallops in a non-stick pan until golden brown on both sides, remove from the pan and place the scallops into the middle of each of the bowls, now pour in the soup around and serve.

 

Sprinkle with chives and dribble a spoonful of double cream around the bowl.

 

Enjoy!
