This cream has a very creamy texture just by using the vegetables and a natural vegetable broth, it is perfect, there are those who add cream or milk cream, but we consider that it is not necessary at all, because if we use the right amounts, we will achieve a perfect creamy texture, we also think that cream or milk cream can counteract the flavor of our leek cream, that is why we never use it.
