Most people call for a Chinese, or eat crisps. Not after Lucy Tilney's fabulous 50th Birthday party. She's been mentioned in this blog before and is definitely a fan of good food. So I was flattered that she asked me in the early hours of this morning to knock up a leek and potato soup to fill up the half cut crowd who had made it back to her house.
Luckily I was encouraged by my French sou chef who kept piling in the garlic and told me to stop sweating the leeks and just shove everything in the saucepan with some water and leave it to simmer away. Which is what I did - great advice.
We used approx 3 leeks (memory is hazy), four largish spuds (I think one or two were new potatoes), four cloves of garlic, an onion, butter, salt, pepper, chicken stock cube and water to cover all the ingredients.
All in the saucepan over medium heat till spuds are done. We blitzed it in a magic mix then ate, delicious bowls of the most amazing soup ever - all done in just over 25 mins. Epic.
