The Hairy Bikers Leek And Potato Soup With Milk Recipe is a true classic. This soup is warm and very cozy.
Equipment
- Large soup pot.
- Sharp kitchen knife.
- Wooden spoon
- Vegetable Peeler
- Stick Blender
Ingredients
- 500 g POTATOES
- 3 large LEEKS
- 50 g BUTTER
- 800 ml VEGETABLE STOCK
- 200 ml WHOLE MILK
- 1 tsp SALT
- 1/2 tsp BLACK PEPPER
Instructions
- Wash the leeks very carefully under cold water. Cut them into thin rounds. Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes.
- Melt the butter in your large soup pot. Keep the heat on a medium setting. Do not let the butter turn brown.
- Add the sliced leeks to the melted butter. Stir them well with your wooden spoon. Let them soften for about five minutes.
- Toss the potato cubes into the pot now. Stir them to coat with the butter. Cook them for two more minutes.
- Pour the vegetable stock over the vegetables. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a gentle boil.
- Lower the heat to a simmer. Put a lid on the pot. Cook until the potatoes are very soft.
- Turn off the heat once potatoes are tender. Use your stick blender to blend the soup. Make it as smooth as you like.
- Pour in the milk and stir well. Heat the soup again gently on low. Do not let it boil after adding milk.
Notes
- Use floury potatoes like Maris Piper for thickness.
- Clean leeks well to avoid a gritty soup.
- Do not boil the soup after adding milk.
- Add a splash of cream for extra richness.
- Season the soup at the very end.
