Cooking method:

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, add the leeks, onions, garlic and thyme, and cook over a moderate heat for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft but not coloured.
Add the potatoes and bay leaf and cook until the potatoes start to stick to the bottom of the pan.
Add the stock and nutmeg and stir. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked.
Allow to cool slightly, purée the soup in a blender until smooth, then pass through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan.
Season to taste with salt and freshly ground white pepper.
Add the cream
Thin down with more stock, if necessary.
Allow the soup to cool, then chill in the fridge.
