Ingredients
For the soup
- 450 g (1 pound) old potatoes such as Maris Piper
- 4 large leeks (white parts only)
- 2 shallots
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 800 ml (3 ½) cups vegetable stock
- 1/2 tsp salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 120 ml (½ cup) single cream (pouring cream) - optional
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Roughly chop the leeks and shallots.
- Heat the butter in a large pot. Once it starts foaming, add the chopped vegetables and stir. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the vegetables with a small pot lid that fits snuggly on top and cover the pot with it's own lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes over medium-low heat.
- Uncover and add the stock. Stir and bring to the boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Purée the soup in a blender until completely smooth. If you want to add cream, then return to the pot, stir in the cream and heat through. Alternatively stir in some fat-free Greek yoghurt if you want to cut down on the calories.
