Method:

In a large pot, heat the butter until bubbling.

Add ½ of the biltong, the leeks and spices and sauté until fragrant.

Add the cubed sweet potatoes/potatoes and sauté for a minute, then add the cold stock. Cover and bring to a gentle boil. 

Simmer gently for +- 35 – 40 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Place in blender with the cream and remaining biltong and blitz until smooth.

Add more cream or stock for a thinner consistency. Season to taste.
