The ingredients needed to make Hearty Leek and Potato Soup:

1. Take 50 g butter
2. Prepare 3 leeks
3. Make ready 3 potatoes (medium-large)
4. Get 1 onion
5. Get 600 ml vegetable stock

Steps to make Hearty Leek and Potato Soup:

1. Prepare the leeks, onion and potatoes by dicing into small pieces. The size doesn't really matter, but smaller potatoes cook quickly if you're in a hurry. I leave the skins on the potatoes, but wash them well.
2. Melt the butter in a large pot, and add the leeks, onions and seasoning. Allow to sweat for 5-10 mins on a medium heat. I tend to soak the diced potatoes in cold water to remove some stach while leeks are sweating. I don't know if this is strictly necessary or whether it helps anything to be honest since I do it out of habit. You can add more herbs here if you'd like, but I really like a basic leek and potato soup so most of the time I don't.
3. Drain the potatoes and add them to the pot. Prepare the vegetable stock and add it to the mixture. Then add the milk. Slowly bring the temperature up to a light simmer while stirring. I think this is the only important step in this recipe – you risk curdling the milk if it is brought to the boil too quickly! I like a thick soup, but if you don't add more liquid to make it thinner.
4. Simmer for 30 mins, stirring occasionally. It should thicken up nicely, and all veg should be nice and soft. Once cooked, use a hand blender to make the soup nice and smooth. Serve with some lovely fresh bread (I recommend wholemeal) and maybe some cream or oil on top too.
