Potato and Leek Soup

This is a silky smooth soup perfect for a winters night.
  • 2 tbls of olive oil
  • 2 leeks, washed and sliced
  • 3 stalks of celery, sliced
  • 8 medium sized potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups of chicken stock
  • 1 tbls of fresh chives, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to season
In a large stockpot heat oil and add leaks and celery.  Cook over low heat until soft, 3-5 minutes.  Add potatoes and pour in stock, then slowly bring to the boil and simmer, covered for 15 minutes, until vegetables are soft.  Remove from heat, cool and then give it a whizz in the food processor until really smooth.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives and salt & pepper.
