For an even smoother texture, strain the pureed soup through a fine-mesh sieve before adding the cream. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary. Add it along with the tomatoes. For a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil and omit the cream, or use a plant-based cream alternative. A splash of dry sherry or white wine added during the leek-cooking stage will add complexity.
