½ cup (125ml) dry white wine

METHOD
1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan, over a medium heat. Add leeks, celery, carrot and garlic, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until leek is soft.
2. Add wine, stock and milk, bay leaves, potato and corn, bring to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes or until potato is soft. Remove from heat.
3. Using a stick blender, puree half the potato mixture until soup becomes thick, being careful not to remove all the vegetable chunks.

To serve, divide soup between bowls and garnish with remaining chives.
