Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    2 carrots, sliced
    2 sticks celery, sliced
    2 medium onions, roughly chopped
    400 g leeks (about 2)
    2 cloves garlic
    400 g potatoes (about 2)
    2 tbsp. olive oil
    2 organic chicken or vegetable stock cubes
    or 2 liters prepared broth
    sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


Directions

Peel and roughly slice the carrots. Slice the celery. Peel and roughly chop the onions. Cut the ends off the leeks, quarter them lengthways, wash them under running water and cut them into 1cm slices. Peel and slice the garlic.

Place a large pan on a high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add all your chopped and sliced ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon. Cook for around 10 minutes with the lid askew, until the carrots have softened, but are still holding their shape, and the onion and leeks are lightly golden.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1cm dice. Put the stock cubes into a jug or pan and pour in 1.8 litres of boiling water from the kettle. Stir until the stock cubes are dissolved, then add to the vegetables. Add your potatoes. (Or add the 2 liters of prepared stock) Give the soup a good stir and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on

Remove the pan from the heat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve like this or pulse until smooth using a hand blender or liquidizer. Divide between your serving bowls.

    Incredible!
    very good/liked having the extra vegetables in this soup, most recipes don't add carrot or celery for this sort of soup. I added dried thyme and Penzeys "fox point" seasoning. Made almost 12 cups for 1 1/2 cup per serving. - 1/6/16
