Chop the onion.

In a skillet, add a drizzle of sesame oil and a knob of margarine; let it melt slowly without browning.

Add the onion with a handful of salt and pepper; sauté until translucent and shiny, cooking slowly to avoid browning.

Slice the leeks and add them to the onion when it is translucent.

Slice the potatoes thinly and add them to the pot, cooking them a bit.

Toast the sunflower seeds and sesame seeds until slightly browned, then add them to the pot with 1/2 cup of white wine and let it reduce until the alcohol evaporates.

Add 500 ml of vegetable stock and cook for 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Blend the mixture until very smooth using an immersion blender or food processor.

Stir in the plant-based cream while blending to incorporate it well.

Pass the mixture through a strainer for a finer texture.

Let it cool until the next day to enhance the flavors.

Serve garnished with a drizzle of sesame oil, fried leeks, some sesame and sunflower seeds, and fresh chives.
