Tattie and Leek (Potato and Leek) Soup


Again another that I do from eye and not measurements.

2 large leeks
8-10 medium potatoes
knob of butter
glug of olive oil
1 litre of veg stock

1. Slice leeks, make sure they are washed really well.
2. Melt the butter in a big soup pot, add the olive oil, warm up then add the leeks and cook on a very low heat for at least 10 mins, being careful not to burn.
3. Peel (or not) the potatoes and chop.
4. Once the leeks are soft and almost caramelized, add the potatoes then the stock. Bring to the boil and then turn down low and cook for about 30 mins. Enjoy.

Leeks are a natural anti-biotic so this is a good one to use when your feeling a bit under the weather.
