It was coldish the other day so I took advantage of the weather and made my all time favourite soup. The kids ate it so fast, I couldn't believe it.
My Potato and Leek soup
(Makes 6 bowls)
1 knob of butter
2 leeks
1 medium brown onion: peeled/chopped
2 cloves of garlic: peeled/chopped
2 large potatoes: peeled/diced
2 cups of chicken stock
½ cup thickened cream
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
Melt butter in pan over medium. Add leeks, onions and garlic. Saute until soft. Add potatoes stirring well. Add stock, bring to a boil and simmer partially covered, for 30 mins (or until potatoes are really soft). Put in a food processor or hand held blender and puree, leaving slight texture. Return to pot, stirring well. Bring to boil, let simmer. Add cream, Worcestershire sauce salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread. Mmmm.
Tips
If you like it thick, only add the stock so it just covers mixture.
For pumpkin soup just switch the 2 leeks for a butternut pumpkin half.
If you want to freeze it, don’t add the cream to the mixture until you want to eat it.
