Preparation

Step 1

In Dutch oven, heat 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the oil over medium heat; fry leeks, carrots, celery, garlic and bay leaves, stirring occasionally and without letting vegetables colour, until tender-crisp, about 10 minutes. Add water and bring to boil; reduce heat to medium low and simmer until fork-tender, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in blender, puree chives with remaining oil until bright green. Strain through coffee filter into bowl. Set aside. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.)

Discard bay leaves from soup. In blender, puree soup, in batches, until smooth. Strain into pot and heat over medium heat; whisk in cream, salt and pepper. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cold; cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.) Reheat; ladle into bowls and drizzle with reserved chive oil.
