Potato Leek Soup
A classic comfort dish that combines leeks’ mild, onion-like flavour with potatoes’ hearty, earthy taste. Potato Leek soup has a creamy texture and soothing warmth, making it a perfect choice for chilly days. In olive oil, saute chopped leeks to release their sweet notes and diced potatoes for their starchy yumminess and add broth to finish. The smooth and velvety consistency is heartwarming, like a warm embrace in a bowl, capturing the essence of homely comfort and simplicity.
