Melt butter in a heavy saucepan. Add onion and leek
and cook slowly; stirring often, until soft. Stir in
broth, then add potato. Cover and cook until potato is
tender. Cool, then process in a food processor or
blender until pureed. In another saucepan, bring
cream to a gentle simmer, cook until just slightly
reduced, then stir in leek mixture and heat until very
hot (but don't boil). Season with salt, pepper and
nutmeg. Serve hot. Sprinkle 1 Tbl. cheese over each
serving and offer a shot of the wine on the side.
Hope you enjoy this as much as we did. Slurp, slurp.
