Thyme and Potato Soup with Crispy Shallots

A deeply savoury, velvet-smooth potato soup built almost entirely around fresh thyme, which is added in two stages to give both depth and brightness. The base is a classic combination of leek, potato and stock, but the quantity of thyme here takes it somewhere far more interesting than your average blended soup. Crispy fried shallots on top add crunch and the whole thing comes together in well under an hour.
