Leek & potato soup
SERVES 4
Leek and potato soup is one of the most comforting soups I know. Add a simple cheese toastie on the side for a more filling meal.
350g leeks, trimmed
50g butter
350g new potatoes or white potatoes
800ml vegetable stock
2tsp wholegrain mustard
Salt and pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Cheese toasties, to serve (optional)
1 Reserve about one-third of one of the leeks to make the fried leeks for the topping. Slice the remaining leeks and rinse them well. Place the leeks in a large saucepan with the butter and fry over a gentle heat until the leeks are soft.
If you are using white potatoes, peel them and cut them into chunks
