Leek, onion and potato soup

Originally by Delia Smith – a super easy, tasty meal that you can make with Farm produce.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large leeks
  • 1 medium onion, chopped small
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 50g butter
  • 750ml vegetable stock
  • 275ml milk
  • Salt and pepper
  • To serve: 2 tbspn chopped chives

Method

  • Trim the tough parts off the leeks, split them in half and slice into rounds. Wash these very well to remove any soil or grit.
  • In a large saucepan, gently melt the butter. Add the leeks, onion, and potatoes, stirring them to get a good coating of butter. Season with salt and pepper, then cover. Leave over a very low heat to sweat for 15 minutes.
  • Add the stock and milk and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
  • Blend the soup. Either freeze now, or return to the saucepan to reheat and serve with a sprinkling of green chives.
