- Saute/fry the leeks in the 4 Tbsp. of butter over medium heat, covered, for 3 to 4 min. Toss in the apples and cook, uncovered, for about 5 min - coating them well with the butter. Pour in the stock, add in the potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 min.
- When the apples and potato are soft, puree in a blender - solids first - till smooth. Return to the saucepan, then stir in heavy cream, Calvados, and cinnamon. Season to taste.
- Chill if you are going to serve cool - in that case you will want to overseason a bit. Saute/fry the apple dice garnish in 2 Tbsp. of butter, then let drain on paper towels till you are ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, ladle into soup bowls (reheat first, if you are serving warm) and top with the apple dice garnish.
- Comments: Strangely delicate and not really sweet at all, this chilled soup from Normandy, France, is a marvelous first course to an autumn meal of roast duck or possibly chicken with roasted root vegetables on the side. Serve chilled - or possibly warm - to 4 to 6 people.
