Leek and Potato Soup

Hi, I hope you had a good weekend.  Today I am sharing one of my favourite soups 🙂 Leek and Potato Soup, this soup is so easy to make and only takes about 30 minute…for such a tasty soup, I think that is great.

I have made this Leek and Potato Soup on quite a few occasions and it never fails to impress. This soup is from a book called Lucy’s Food: Minimum Effort, Maximum Impact!.  I love this book and have done quite a few recipes from it too, it is definitely one of my go to books.  Minimum Effort, Maximum Impact what is not great about that.  It is great for during the week cooking and for when you are having guest over and would like to make something that looks and tastes like you have been cooking all day 🙂

Serve this Leek and Potato Soup with some lovely home made bread or some bought bread.  When dishing up give a little whirl of cream and some freshly cracked black pepper to the top.

I hope you enjoy and have a good week xx
