  3. Add 1 cup chopped leeks and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Cook for another 2 minutes, until slightly softened.

  5. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top generously with 1/2 cup grated Appenzeller cheese (or substitute) and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives.
