Instructions
-
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender and puree in batches until smooth.

Return the soup to low heat and stir in the heavy cream and smoked salmon. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
