Yes, it's that time of year again when a warming bowl of nourishing soup is just what the doctor ordered. One of N's favourite soups is leek and potato, and given that the veg box delivers these on a frequent basis, I thought I'd share my recipe.
For 4-5 generous servings you need:
700g potatoes, diced
3 large leeks, sliced (or a couple of leeks and some onions. Hey it even works with just onions but you'd need to change the name of the soup...)
1 litre veg stock. I like it with a dark one, e.g. one made with marmite or vecon veg stock.
1 tbsp butter/oil
Milk/soya milk if required to finish the soup.
Begin by sweating the leeks/onions and potatoes in the oil/butter. Add the stock and cook till the potatoes are tender. At this stage, thoughts are divided. N likes his soup blended till smooth and let down with a little milk. L and I like it chunky so we can eat the different bits separately. Whatever you prefer, serve with lashings of crusty bread and maybe some cheese on the side too.
