Leek and Potato Soup

 

 

Winter in Australia is now in full swing, it's the right time to cuddle up on the sofa with  a warm bowl of soup, and watch that favourite TV show or read that book that you've been putting off for a while now.

I will be making a video shortly, but my camera has been broken and is in the process of being fixed. So for now, I thought I'd put this up as a great winter meal idea!

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Leek, chopped and washed
2 Large potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1cm cubes
1 Garlic clove, crushed
4 cups of chicken or vegetable stock (I use 2 chicken stock cubes and 4 cups water)
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley

Method:
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot, add leek and sauté until translucent
2. Add garlic and sauté for a further minute
3.Add potatoes, and stock
4. Allow to cook until potatoes are cooked through
5. Use stick blender, or bench top blender to puree (alternatively eat as is)
6. Check for seasoning (salt and pepper)
7. Enjoy!
