Potato and leek soup

How about a warm and creamy soup for dinner? Potato and leek soup is a real treat.

Ingredients:

(For around 5 servings)

  • ~800g of potatoes
  • 1 big leek (or 2 small)
  • Some oil for frying
  • ~1 teaspoon thyme, I prefer frozen but fresh or dried is also fine
  • 2-3 vegetable buillon cubes
  • 3 dl cream
  • black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Peel and dice the potates, rinse and dice the leek
  2. Fry the leek in oil in a large pot for a few minutes, until the leek gets some colour
  3. Add the diced potatoes, thyme and whatever amount of ground black pepper you think is nice
  4. After a few minutes, add the buillon cubes and fill the pot with enough water to cover everything
  5. Bring to a boil and then let simmer until the potatoes are nice and soft, about 15-20 minutes
  6. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup smooth
  7. Add the cream and blend some more, taste and add more spices as you see fit
  8. Serve with some garlic bread or just as it is. Garnish with some fresh parsley for bonus points
