I’ve never made this before, so thought I’d give it a go. Just had a taste, and it was blooming delish – so definitely worth a blog…
You’ll need:
Knob of butter
1 onion
2 washed, chopped leeks
2 medium-sized peeled and cubed potatoes
Stock – chicken or vegetable. I actually used the water the gammon joint boiled in yesterday
Cream or creme fraiche
Black pepper
I use a soup maker, but a large pan does just the same job – you’ll just have to transfer to a blender after it’s cooked.
What to do:
Put the knob of butter in the soup maker on ‘High’, add the onions and leeks, stir and leave to sweat for a minute.
Add the potatoes, and add enough stock to make 1400 ml.
Simmer for half an hour, then blend until smooth.
Stir in a dollop of cream or creme fraiche, and season with some freshly ground black pepper.
Enjoy!
