ITS LEEK SEASON!
🥣 Homemade Leek & Potato Soup 🥔💚

There’s nothing like a bowl of creamy leek and potato soup to warm you up on a chilly day! Here’s my go-to recipe — simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious (feeds 4)

✨ Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
3 large leeks (white & light green parts only), cleaned and sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 litre (4 cups) vegetable or chicken stock
1 cup milk or cream (optional for extra creaminess)
Salt & black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley or chives to garnish

👩‍🍳 Method:

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and garlic, and cook gently for about 5–7 minutes until soft (but not browned).

Add the diced potatoes and stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.

Blend the soup (use a stick blender or regular blender) until smooth and creamy.

Stir in the milk or cream, season with salt and pepper, and warm through.

Serve hot, topped with a sprinkle of parsley or chives — and maybe a slice of crusty bread on the side! 🥖

💚 Tip: For a vegan version, use olive oil and plant-based milk.
