Leek & Potato soup

Step 1

Finely chop the onion, garlic and leek. Cut the potatoes into quarters so you have everything ready before you start cooking the soup. Then slowly heat the butter in a large pot and sauté the chopped onion and garlic. Once the onions are golden, add the leeks and thyme, a pinch of salt and sauté for another 5 minutes to bring the flavours together. Cook gently and ideally on medium heat to warm everything through, but not to burn it. Add the potatoes as well, cover everything with vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender - this takes about 20 minutes.

Step 2

Once you have all the ingredients cooked, prepare a stick blender and blend the soup until smooth to create a creamy puree. Now it's time to season the soup with lemon juice, or additional salt and pepper (be careful with the salt, though, as the soup will also include Parmesan cheese, which is very salty on its own). Once the soup has been seasoned, let it warm slightly and finally add the freshly chopped herbs and grated parmesan cheese.
