- 552 grams leeks, diced (cleaned, 6 leeks)
- 2 potatoes (2 small potatoes, cut into matchsticks)
- 2 onions, diced (small sweet onions)
- 2 cups whole milk (cold)
- 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- Water (if necessary)
- 28.35 grams almonds (30 raw almonds)

- Bacon (optional for topping- you can use fried leeks or some croutons instead)
- Salt, to taste

- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Heat a skillet to medium and add olive oil. Place the almonds in and saute until golden brown. Set aside.
-
Step 2: Next, add the leeks and onions and saute for 10 minutes.
-
Step 3: Add the potatoes. Add the broth of your choice and water if you need it. Salt and pepper to taste and cook on low heat for about 30 minutes.
-
Step 4: If you are using bacon as a topping, fry it in a skillet and set the bacon aside when it's done. If not using bacon, you can fry some leeks for the topping instead, or skip this step and use croutons.
-
Step 5: Mix the egg yolk and milk together. Put it into a blender. Slowly add the leek, onion, and potato mixture, and the almonds. Blend until it's a creamy consistency.
-
Step 6: Pour through a strainer with a spoon to rid the puree of the almond grit.
-
Step 7: Reheat until it's hot. Top with the items of your choosing.
