TURKEY VELVET SOUP

Steps:

• Clean and slice the leek and sweat in a little butter. Add half the turkey stock and the potatoes. As my potatoes were already cooked, I was able to blitz the soup with my hand-held blender; if they are raw.
• Simmer until the potatoes are cooked and THEN blitz the mixture with a blender or food processor.
• Add the vegetables and tarragon and bring to a boil.
• When the carrots are tender, add the turkey meat.
• Bring back to a boil and then turn down the heat so that the soup simmers. Pour a spoonful of the hot soup into the cream, mix and then add the cream to the soup. (This should keep the soup from curdling).
• Stir well and taste for salt and pepper. You may well find it needs a bit of salt. A good grinding of pepper will also add a little bite to the velvet creaminess.
