Cozy up with a simple potato leek soup.
Ingredients:
  • 20g butter
  • 2 leeks, pale section only, halved, washed, dried, thinly sliced
  • 1kg desiree potatoes, peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 1L (4 cups) chicken style liquid stock
  • 750ml (3 cups) water
  • 250ml (1 cup) thin cream
  • Fresh chives, finely chopped, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, heat oil and butter until sizzling. Add leek and garlic, ensuring they're coated in the flavorful mixture. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook gently for 18-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're soft and aromatic.
  • Place the potato, stock, and water in the pan and cover. Simmer over medium-high heat until the potato is tender, adjusting heat to medium. Cook partially covered for 25-30 minutes. Let it cool for 10 minutes before proceeding.
  • Pour one-third of the soup into a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer the blended soup to a clean saucepan. Repeat this process two more times with the remaining potato mixture.
  • Heat the soup over gentle heat, then gently pour in the cream. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is warmed. Finally, season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Divide among bowls. Garnish with fresh chives and serve promptly.
