There’s nothing quite like a classic Irish leek and potato soup to warm you up.
Ingredients
Leek
4 medium
Potatoes, Raw
450 g
Vegetable stock cube
2 cube(s)
Low Fat Soft Cheese
125 g
Skimmed Milk
2 tablespoon(s)
Chives, Fresh
1 tablespoon(s)
Instructions
1
Put the leeks, potatoes and stock into a large lidded saucepan. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 25 minutes – or until the vegetables are tender.
2
Purée half the soup in a blender or food processor, or use a handheld stick blender, adding 100 g of the soft cheese. Stir in the unblended soup and reheat gently. Season to taste.
3
Mix the remaining soft cheese with the skimmed milk to give a smooth consistency.
4
Ladle the soup into warm bowls and top each portion with a swirl of the soft cheese mixture. Sprinkle with chives and extra black pepper before serving.
