Had a lovely busy weekend filled with wine, Gossip Girl, S, Brossos (lovely restaurant in La Grund), Liquid (awesome bar a la Grund) and the cinema (don't watch New Years Eve it will leave you sobbing!!!! S, M and I went to see it and we were messes!).
So today marks a new week full of exciting prospects, like the perfect leek and potato soup, and the fact that I did Salamba Sarvangasana (supported shoulder stand) in my yoga practise today! I'm not sure which I'm more excited about!!
So anyway, here's the perfect leek and potato soup recipe:
You're going to need a large leek, a good knob of butter to cook it in, three baking potatoes peeled and sliced thinly, and a litre of chicken stock.
So, you cook the leek in the melted butter (there isn't a better smell in the world than when you're cooking something in good butter), when the leeks are nicely softened throw in the potatoes and the chicken stock, bring to a nice rolling simmer and leave until the potatoes are soft (now it's important that you've sliced the potatoes thinly because you don't want to overcook the leeks) once the potatoes are cooked blend until smooth, gently reheat (adding a splash of milk if you like a think soup) and serve with parmeasan (I don't care about my spelling of it!)
This soup is best served on a rainy day with a cup of lapsang souchong tea and a good book.
Enjoy!!
