Leek and Potato soup

Tasty soup in under and hour.

Leek and Potato soup is probably one of my favorite comfort food soups. I love this soup any time of the year and I make it a little more peppery for an extra warmth.


Ingredients:

  • 1KG potatoes chopped into chunks
  • 700g Leeks chopped fresh or frozen
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 Chicken or vegetable stock cube
  • 1ltr of cold water
  • 200ml Milk
  • 2tsp Thyme
  • 1Tsp Nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1Tbsp oil

Method:

Add chopped leeks and onion to a deep pan with a little oil, heat gently until softened. Then add peeled and chopped potatoes and the stock cube with 1 litre of water. At this point add in the herbs, salt and pepper. Bring up to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 20-30 mins. When the potatoes are soft and the liquid reduced a little add in the milk, this can be blended up and it’s ready to serve.
