A soup that’s both cosy and comforting. Depending on your taste, this can either be eaten as a chunky broth or smooth, whizzed up in the blender.
Ingredients
| 2 | medium baking potatoes, peeled and chopped into small chunks |
| 3 | leeks, washed thoroughly and chopped into 1cm slices |
| 1 | brown onion, diced |
| 2 | garlic cloves, crushed |
| 2 | vegetable stock cubes |
| salt and pepper, to taste | |
| 2 tsps | butter/oil for frying |
| 1l | water |
| 1 tbsp | mixed herbs |
Method
- Sweat the onion and leek in a saucepan with the butter/oil over low heat until softened but not browned.
- Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes then add the water and potatoes to the pan and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, add both stock cubes and mixed herbs and mix thoroughly.
- Boil for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked, season with salt and pepper and serve.
Chef’s tips
Blend at the end for a smooth soup. For a more filling meal, serve with a couple of slices of bread and butter.
