Preparation

  • Wash and clean the leeks and spring onions and cut into slices approx. 5 mm thick.
  • Melt 30 g butter in a saucepan.
  • Lightly sauté the leeks and spring onions, dust with flour and fry briefly.
  • Pour in the stock and simmer gently for approx. 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Cut the bacon into fine strips.
  • Heat 20 g butter in a pan, fry the bacon strips until golden brown and drain on kitchen paper.
  • Add the grated cheese, cream cheese and Gorgonzola to the soup and allow to melt.
  • Purée the soup lightly with a hand blender or in a mixer until it is creamy (do not purée completely; green pieces of leek and spring onions should still be visible).
