Potato and Leek Soup
It’s a classic for a reason!
Total cost: approx. $6 for the whole batch
Servings: 4 generous bowls
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
1 tablespoon oil
1 leek, washed and sliced
Salt and pepper
Optional: dried herbs (e.g. thyme)
2 large potatoes, diced
1 head of broccoli, roughly chopped (optional)
1.5 litres stock or water
1 can coconut cream
Method
Heat oil in a large pot. Add leeks, salt, pepper, and optional herbs. Cook slowly until soft and fragrant.
Add potatoes, broccoli (if using), stock or water, and coconut cream. Season with more salt to taste.
Simmer for around 30 minutes, until potatoes are soft.
Blend the soup until smooth. For a thicker soup, return to the heat and simmer to reduce slightly.
Serve hot, optionally topped with cracked pepper or a swirl of cream.
