25g Butter
2 Large Leeks (thinly sliced)
250g Potatoes (diced amazingly enough to the size of a dice!)
1 Onion (chopped as fine or as rough as you like)
750ml Chicken Stock
300ml milk
Equipment
1 SHARP Knife
1 Chopping Board
1 Large Pan
1 Wooden Spoon
Greaseproof Paper
The Good Bit
- Add the butter, leek, onion, and potato to the pan and stir well to cover with the butter, cover tightly with greaseproof paper and cook over a low heat for 15minutes, until everything is begins to go soft but not coloured, you will need to stir frequently to stop the colouring.
- Add all the liquids and season to taste then bring to the boil and reduce the heat to a low simmer for 20mins until all the vegetables are cooked through (test the potatoes with a fork, if they are done there should be no resistance)
- Blend at this stage and return back to the pan to reheat again checking the seasoning, if you like the soup a little more chunky, you can reserve 1/4 of the vegetables and add then back in to the soup on the rewarm.
