This is a great soup and definitely a keeper. Just the thing you need not only to warm you up but also cheer you up on a grey and dingy winter evening. Those days nothing feels better than to have a big bowl of warm and tasty soup and some crusty bread to sop it up with!!
Potato, leek and bacon
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
300g/12oz leeks, washed and finely sliced
300g/12oz potatoes, peeled and sliced
150g/6oz bacon, chopped. (I use 3-4 slices)
700ml/1¼pt stock (fresh chicken stock is best for flavor but stock cubes can be used)
290ml/½ pint milk (I'm not keen on milk for a variety of reasons and don't think the soup actually needs it. If it's a little gloupy - as potato based soups can get - I simply add more stock or just plain water)
fresh ground black pepper
Method
1. Sauté the potato, leeks and bacon in a pan, until soft but not coloured.
2. Add the stock and cook until the potatoes are tender. (about 15-20mins)
3. Whizz it, return to the pan and add the milk/stock/water.
4. Serve with warm chunks of bread or rolls spread with butter!!
How easy is that!! I love recipe's like this that produce loads of flavor and wow factor for very little work!
