Creamy Leek And Apple Soup With Garam Masala

• 1 quart chicken stock
• 2 leeks
• 1 apple
• 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of heavy cream
• 1/2 tablespoon Garam Masala
• 1-2 handfuls of pepitas
• Some olive oil
• A few sprigs of cilantro

1. Bring to a boil the chicken stock, the cleaned and sliced leeks, and the peeled and cubed apple. The stock will barely cover the vegetable/fruit mixture.
2. When the mixture boils, turn it down to a simmer until the veg/fruit are soft (approx 20 mins).
3. Puree the soup with an immersion blender
4. Add 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 Tablespoon of Garam Masala (or to taste)
5. Puree again to blend, season to taste with with salt and pepper
6. Serve with a touch more cream, pepitas that have been sauteed in a little olive oil with more salt and Garam Masala powder, and a few sprigs of cilantro for color.
