Recipe's preparation

  1. Put leeks, bacon and garlic into bowl and chop 5 seconds, speed 5.
  2. Add butter and cook for 5 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 1.
  3. Add potatoes, thyme leaves (stripped from stalks) and cook for a further 5 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 1.
  4. In a 500 ml measuring cup, mix stock paste with boiling water and stir until dissolved. Add to bowl with wine, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Cook 20 minutes, 100 degrees, reverse speed 2 (Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" is very important as you do not want to chop up the bay leaves!). Potatoes should be very soft - if not, cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. Dig around with your spatula to find the bay leaves - pull out and discard. Ensure MC is in place, gradually increase speed to speed 8 and blend for 45 seconds until smooth.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings if required. Add cream and cook for 3 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 2.
  7. Pour into serving bowls, sprinkle with chopped crispy bason and parsley and serve with fresh bread rolls (I love 'The Bestest Bread Rolls Ever' from the Recipe Community - so good!).

Tip

If you don't have homemade chicken stock paste, use 1 x Continental Chicken 'Stock Pot'.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    Magsy50: Hi there - I know! LOL! Sorry, I've been trying to get help from the community as to why my ingredients keep disappearing but so far no joy! Will try to repost and see if it fixes the problem. There are definitely both leeks and potatoes in the recipe, haha!!

    Ummm, not meaning to be picky, but there is no mention of leek or potato in the ingredients list LOL Lol (or the bacon or garlic)
