Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the leeks with a pinch of salt and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until very soft but not browned.
Stir in the garlic and thyme and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the potatoes, broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes until the potatoes are completely fork tender.
Remove the bay leaves and blend the soup with an immersion blender just until smooth. Avoid over blending, which can make potatoes gluey.
Stir in the oat milk, warm through for 2 to 3 minutes and season with the salt and white pepper.
Serve topped with chives, a drizzle of olive oil and a crack of black pepper.
