Easy Leek and Potato Soup
There are many reasons to love this tasty Leek & Potato
soup! Firstly, look at the method, there are
7 ridiculously easy steps. When I look at
recipes, I always do a quick glance of the method and it can be
an instant turn-on or turn-off for me. Methods shouldn’t be
essays, yes?? YES! Secondly, it is the easiest go-to recipe for
dentist-days – root canal, fillings and braces-tightening.
Not a great thought I know but its just a practical mention 🙂 .
Thirdly, it works well for sore or upset tummies and if your’re
feeling a little under the weather because of its simplicity.
Fourthly (is that a word?), it goes without saying it is
PERFECT for rainy / winter days when you want
a warm meal. Fifthly (hah hah try say that) the ingredients are
available most of the year and if you can’t find leeks,
use spring onions.
It has been raining for 2 days solid in
Durban and so this soup is totally dinner for us for
tonight. I’ll throw in a little sourdough bread to dunk and
we’ll be high on leek and potato happiness well into
midnight.
The cream and bacon are completely optional
– the soup tastes delicious without those additions so
don’t be afraid to leave them out if you need to. The
cream enhances the already creaminess of the soup and the
bacon adds a little smokiness which are wonderful but not
crucial! In fact a few years ago I made a different
Leek & Potato soup with a cup of cream in
it, so its way more creamy than this one if you prefer more
cream in your life 🙂
Whilst we are talking about soup….these are some
others which are really YUMMY!
Chicken and Corn
Soup – a hearty soup which is a regular
dinner choice for us in winter.
Lentil, Feta, and Red Pepper
Soup – Every ingredient is soooo yummy and we
have lentils for added protein too. Great vegetarian soup
option!
Creamy Broccoli
Soup – Oooh this one is delish – it has lemon in
it and it’s creamy and mmmmm, just put it on your list of
soups to make.
