Apple Vichyssoise

I love classic vichyssoise with leeks as the star; this version has an interesting twist, but as almost always happens, it doesn't beat the original recipe.

Ingredients: 

• 5 apples
• 1 litre of chicken stock
• 1 bunch of leeks
• a few chives
• 200 ml single cream
• 30 grams of butter
• salt and pepper.

Method
Peel the apples and cut them into pieces, but set aside a quarter of an apple for decoration. Clean and slice the leeks, discard the green part and cut the whitest part into rounds.

Put a saucepan on the heat and melt the butter, then add the leek and the chopped apples and cook over low heat for 6 minutes. After this time, add the stock and cook for about 20 more minutes.
Take off the heat and let the mixture cool slightly, then blend with a hand blender until smooth. Now add the cream and season with salt and pepper, mix again with a spoon, serve the soup in deep bowls and garnish with a few slices of the apple you set aside and the chopped chives.
