3 leeks |
1 pound of
potatoes
5 ounces of fresh cream

| Peel and
wash the vegetables. Chop the leeks (avoiding the
green leafy part) and onions. Dice the potatoes.
Break and shell the coconut and peel off the
brown skin. Put the butter in a large casserole
and gently cook the onions and leeks. Do not
brown them. Grate the coconuts and add to the
above cooked vegetables. Incorporate the diced
potatoes. Add water, salt and let cook for 30
minutes. Pass this mixture in the blender. In
order to ensure a "lumpless" creamy
consistency, strain the soup and then pour in the
fresh cream. Correct the seasoning. Serve your
soup very hot.
