Potato with smoked salmon

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a moderate heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Add the potatoes and cook for 1 minute, then pour in the stock, bring to the boil and simmer gently for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
• Purée in an electric blender or with a hand-held blender until smooth. Return to the saucepan and add the milk and chives. Bring to just under the boil.
• Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and taste. Add a little more, if needed. Add the smoked salmon and cook until heated.
