Stir everything together and bring to a boil.Lower the heat to medium-low and let the soup cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and the leeks are fully cooked.Remove the thyme sprigs, then blend the soup using a hand blender until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the cream, taste, and adjust salt and pepper as needed. If the soup is too thick, add a little more water or stock until it reaches your preferred texture.Pour the soup into bowls and top with chopped chives and homemade croutons.
