Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp butter or oil
  • 1 leek
  • 2 Large Potatoes
  • 1 stock cube
  • .5 a lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • *optional extras – garlic celery, carrot, fresh herbs, a tin of chickpeas/white beans

Instructions
 

  • Sauté the green part of the leek (thinly sliced) in the oil/butter with diced potatoes until softening – about 8 minutes.
  • Add the thinly sliced paler part of the leek, optional extras like garlic, thyme, rosemary, diced celery or carrots etc and sauté for a few more minutes.
  • Add a stock cube and cover the vegetables with hot water.
  • Simmer until the potatoes are cooked through. Then either leave chunky or blend until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning. I always like a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and some freshly ground black pepper in my soup to brighten and lift the flavours.
  • *Bulk it out and add some plant protein with a drained tin of chickpeas or white beans simmered into the soup.
