Luscious Leek and Potato Soup

Treat yourself to a bowl of creamy delicious soup.  No additives, except love.



Ingredients
2 leeks, about 350g, cleaned and sliced
350g floury potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 teasp salt
1 litre of water
125ml double cream
1 tbsp chopped parsley, flat or curly
Freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Put the leek and potatoes into a large saucepan.  Add the water and salt and bring to the boil.  Simmer until soft and cooked through, about 20 minutes.  Turn off the heat, allow to cool slightly then blitz until smooth using a hand blender.
Add the cream and stir into the soup, then add the parsley and crack in some black pepper.  Have a taste, adjust the seasoning and pour the creamy soup into bowls.  Crusty bread or chunky croutons work well with this.
