Steps:
- Heat the butter in a large saucepan and add the leeks and bay leaf. Cook over a low heat for 8-10 mins or until the leek is really soft, then stir through the potatoes until coated in the butter. Pour over the stock and cream and bring to the simmer, then gently bubble for 10-15 mins until the potatoes are really tender. If freezing at this stage, slightly under-cook the potatoes, then defrost and bring back to a simmer to finish cooking them and continue the recipe.
- Add two-thirds of the smoked salmon, stir through and season. Serve the soup in deep bowls with the remaining smoked salmon and snipped chives on the top.

AVOCADO AND SMOKED SALMON SOUP
Steps:
- Peel and pit the avocados and in a blender blend them with the lemon juice, the sour cream, 3 cups of the broth, and the Tabasco until the mixture is smooth, adding enough of the remaining 1/2 cup broth to thin the mixture to the desired consistency. Transfer the soup to a bowl, season it with salt and pepper, and chill it, its surface covered with plastic wrap, for 1 hour, or until it is cold. (The soup will discolor if kept for more than 6 hours.) Stir half the salmon, chopped, into the soup, divide the soup among chilled bowls, and garnish it with the remaining salmon, cut into strips.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Use good quality smoked salmon: The quality of the smoked salmon will greatly affect the flavor of the soup. Look for smoked salmon that is moist, firm, and has a deep pink color.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered gently for just a few minutes, until the salmon is heated through. Overcooking will toughen the salmon and make the soup watery.
- Serve immediately: Avocado soup is best served immediately, as it will start to brown after a few hours. If you need to make the soup ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat before serving.
Conclusion:
Avocado and smoked salmon soup is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, and the combination of rich avocado and smoky salmon is sure to please everyone. Serve it as a starter or main course, or enjoy it as a light lunch. No matter how you serve it, this soup is sure to be a hit!
