Tried & Tested Leek & Potato Soup recipe

This is a weightwatchers recipe and is absolutely scrummy.

1 tbsp polyunsaturated margarine

1 large onion, chopped finely

500g leeks, chopped finely

500g floury potatoes, peeled & chopped

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus a few sprigs to garnish

3 vegetable stock cubes dissolved in 1l hot water

300ml skimmed milk

salt & pepper

1. Melt the marg and saute the onion & leeks until soft - about 10 mins

2. Add potatoes, parsley & hot stock & bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for about 20 mins until the veggies are tender and potatoes begin to break down.

3. Add milk to the pan and reheat gently. Season with salt & pepper.

It's dead easy and absolutely delicious - if you don't have fresh parsley, dried works fine. and I always blend with a stick blender first.

Thank you for that and even better it's WW as should really try and get back on it. No parsley so will have a look see what I can substitute it with or just buy some tomorrow!

I always use:

400g leeks

200g potatoes

1 medium onion

750ml veg stock

250ml milk

Roughly chop all veg and sautee in oil for about 10minutes careful not to let it catch. Add veg stock and simmer for 20 mins, then add milk and blend. Season well

Easy peasy and has always been lovely

This was posted over on BT this morning too, but I don't think it was you.

No it wasn't me! ? Baby Buns I used your recipe last night as I had everything I needed and it was lovely. Will try the others too. Thanks again.

I'm afraid I'm another Delia fan when it comes to leek and potato soup although I don't use frozen mash, I just bung in a potato or two until soft. I tend to bung in a dollop of dijon mustard at the end aswell.
