Method
-
Toss the diced bread with 10 ml olive oil and toast in the oven or air fryer at 190°C for 6–8 minutes. Reserve the croutons.
-
Chop the leek, onion, carrot and garlic. Sweat with 20 ml olive oil and a pinch of salt for 8 minutes without browning.
-
Add the chopped courgette and potato, celery, water and remaining salt. Cover and simmer for 22–25 minutes until the potato is tender. Remove only the celery stalk if you prefer a milder flavour.
-
Add the cream cheese and blend until smooth. Adjust the consistency with a little hot water if required.
-
Serve hot with the reserved croutons and drizzle over the remaining 5 ml olive oil.
