For an extra layer of flavor, try sautéing a minced clove of garlic with the leeks. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially or fully puree the soup before adding the cream. Garnish with a swirl of cream, a sprinkle of fresh chives, or crispy croutons for added texture. Soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
