Method

step 1

Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Once shimmering, cook the onion and leek for 15 mins, stirring often, until beginning to soften and caramelise.
step 2

Stir in the potato, then pour over the stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer. Bubble for 15-20 mins or until the potato is soft.
step 3

Wilt in the wild garlic. Cook for 2 mins, then melt in the crème fraîche and season well with salt and pepper. Transfer to a high-powered blender and blitz until smooth. Serve with an extra swirl of crème fraîche and hot buttered toast, if you like.
