Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat, and add the onion and leeks. Cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about three minutes, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the carrot and the celery. Cook, stirring, for five minutes, and add the garlic. Stir together for about a minute, until fragrant, and add the potatoes, water, salt and the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for one hour. Remove the bouquet garni.
- Puree the soup in an immersion blender, or blend 1 1/2 cups at a time in a blender, covering the top tightly with a towel to avoid splashes. If you want a smoother consistency, put the soup through a medium strainer.
- Stir together the yogurt, cornstarch and dill, and stir into the soup. Heat through. Add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt. Serve hot, garnished with garlic croutons and small dill sprigs; or chill and serve cold, garnished with a dollop of yogurt, thinly sliced cucumbers and small dill sprigs.
