Awa's Potato&Leek Soup

Beautiful Potato and Leek Soup

This is my sister Andrea's recipe and every time I go up home I look forward to having it for lunch. Served with some crusty loaf this as a tasty and filling dish, simple comfort food at its best!

Serves 6:

4 large leeks

2 medium potatoes

1 large onion

1 clove or garlic

50g butter

850ml chicken stock

275ml skimmed/ semi-skimmed milk

Method

• Roughly chop the onion, garlic and leeks. Peel and cube the potatoes.
• In a large saucepan over a medium heat sweat off the onion and garlic in the butter for 5 mins then add the leek and sweat for a further 10 mins stirring occasionally to stop it catching.
• Add the stock, milk potatoes and season well, bring to the boil for 5 mins then simmer for another 5 mins.
• Allow to cool slightly then blitz with either a hand blender or a jug blender until silky smooth.
• Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche and some crusty bread.
