– 1 leek (without the green part, about 130 gr).
– 1 onion (about 150 gr).
– 1 medium potato (about 150 gr).
– 750 ml of vegetable broth or water, or the amount you need to practically cover the vegetables.
– 30 gr of extra virgin olive oil.

– Peel the onion and cut it into quarters.
– Put the olive oil, the leek, and the onion in the Thermomix glass and chop it all together for 3 seconds at speed 5.

To serve it, use deep plates or bowls and decorate it with a little yogurt in the center, the chopped chives, flax seeds, and a drizzle of olive oil.
