This soup is eaten best in the autumn and winter seasons. It's full of vitamins and minerals to get you through these cold months. The potatoes and cream give it a nice creamy texture. Eat with some fresh rye bread topped with butter and a slice of spicy ripe cheese.

    Cut the leek in the length and then in half rings, take the rings apart and wash off thoroughly all the sand and mud in a big sif, keep a few rings separate to garnish the soup when served

  5. 5

    Put a 2-3 liter soup pan on medium heat with the cream butter

  6. 6

    When the butter is hot add the onion and garlic and fry the slowly untill soft, when half done, add the curry powder

  7. 7

    Now add the stock, the leek and the potato cubes and bring to a boil, then put the heat down and let it softly boil for 10 minutes

  8. 8

    Use the electrical hand blender to blend the soup smooth

  9. 9

    Add the cream, some pepper and salt and maybe a little more curry powder to taste and again heat up, when it boils it's done

Love to cook for my Hungarian girlfriend and me! I have been cooking around since 1998 and like to make simple tasty foods, nothing fancy really. I mainly cook with regular fresh ingredients available anywhere based on one or more recipes I found throughout the years. Will try to post one recipe a week here
