The soup vaguely resembles vichyssoise - the same potatoes and leeks are fried, then boiled in broth and mashed until pureed. Only this time, garlic, Madeira and onion are literally involved - they give the soup a pleasant spiciness. And there is much less leek in the soup than potatoes, so it turns out to be somewhat more substantial than the delicate vichyssoise. Sorrel pesto is a pleasant, but optional option.
