Preparation

1. Peel the potatoes and dice them. Clean the leek, wash it and cut it into rings. Wash the thyme, pick off the leaves and chop finely.
2. Sauté the potatoes, leek and thyme in 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the vegetable stock and simmer for about 25 minutes. Finely dice the shallot and bacon, wash the chilli, remove the seeds and chop finely.
3. Fry the bacon in a pan until crispy, then remove. Wipe out the pan, heat the remaining butter and briefly sauté the shallot and chilli. Add to the bacon.
4. Puree the soup with a hand blender and add the cream (except for 4 tablespoons). Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
5. Divide the soup between bowls and serve with the remaining cream and the bacon mix as a topping.
