Simple is best! With just a few ingredients it makes an amazing rich soup bursting with flavour, creamy and smooth texture. And unfortunately with it just turning Autumn in the Uk this is perfect with a dash of smoked paprika to warm you up during the autumnal days !!

Cooking Instructions

45 mins
  1. 1

    
Using a large pan place on a medium heat, drizzle with oil and add butter. Throw in the leeks to gently soften. I think the best way to make the soup full of flavour is to be patient allowing them to soften slow and go golden. Whilst they are softening, chop the onion and garlic and then throw in the pan stirring well.
Meanwhile stirring regularly, chop up the potatoes.

  2. 2

    After about 15 minutes the leeks and onions should be reduced and sweated down.  Next add the stock to the mixture, add the milk and potatoes.  Bring up to boil and a gentle simmer. 

  3. 3

    Add salt and pepper to taste.
The soup needs to bubble for about 20 - 25 minutes until the potatoes are soft.  Next blitz the soup in a blender. If you like your soup chunky don't bother with this next bit! Add a splash of double cream and stir through to serve and Enjoy!  Yum
