Potato leek soup with a twist

Ingredients:

1) 2 cloves of garlic

2) 2 potatoes

3) 3 leeks

4) 1/2 cup of Spanish olive oil (Extra Virgin from Andalucía)

5) Salt

6) Serrano ham and manchego cheese pieces to garnish

Preparation:

Put a little bit of olive oil in a pot and fry the garlic cloves until brown. Add the leeks and potatoes and cook them golden. Add 2 liters of water and simmer for 45 minutes. Put the mixture in a blender and blend it with 1/4 cup of olive oil. Season with salt and serve it in bowls garnished with Ibérico or Serrano (Jabugo) ham and Manchego cheese from Spain.

Enjoy with good company and a glass of Albariño white wine from Galicia ;)

P.S.: Thanks José Andrés for your constant inspiration!
