Leek and Potato Soup image

This sounds like it would be a really nice winter warmer soup. I originally found it in a booklet put out by the BBC Good Food magazine. The recipe says that it is suitable for freezing.

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ounces butter
8 slices bacon, chopped
5 large leeks, sliced
2 large potatoes, cubed
2 pints vegetable stock
2 bay leaves
1/2 pint milk
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pan, add the bacon and fry it until it is just starting to color.
  • Add the leeks and potatoes and stir until they are glistening.
  • Add the stock and bay leaves, season and bring to a boil.
  • Partly cover and simmer for 15 minutes until everything is cooked.
  • Remove the bay leaves and then puree the soup in batches in a food processor or blender.
  • Return to the pan and stir in the milk.
  • Reheat gently and season to taste. Add more stock or water if the soup seems to thick (this will depend on the size of your potatoes).
  • Sprinkle with parsley to serve.
