Potato and Leek Soup
This is one of my favourite soups, so comforting in the winter. If you don’t have leeks or leeks cost a fortune, then onions work just as well and make for a very frugal, yet very tasty and filling soup.
If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, try substituting kecap manis or soy sauce. A swirl of yoghurt or sour cream gives the soup a nice finish. Serves 4.
Ingredients
100g butter
3 leeks, finely chopped
1 stick of celery, finely chopped
5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 cups of chicken or vegetable stock
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
300ml cream
salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Melt butter in a large saucepan and cook leek and celery over medium heat until soft.
- Add the potatoes and stock. Bring to the boil and simmer covered for 20 minutes or until the potato is tender
- Blend soup until smooth. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, cream and salt and pepper. Heat gently and serve.
