For the meat-eaters out there, this recipe has a porcine twist

Ingredients

  • 6 leeks
  • 8/9 good sized potatoes
  • 2 pints of stock from pig trotters (use vegetable stock for a vegetarian version) - use water reserved from pig's trotter recipe below
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method: How to make leek and potato soup

1. Top and tail the leeks, cut length wise and discard the outer leaves, then chop them. Put them in a large metal dish. Peel and chop potatoes into small cubes, and rinse in colander to get rid of the starch.

2. Put the leeks and potatoes in a pan, add salt, pepper and stock and bring to the boil.

3. Turn down heat to simmer and cook for 2 ¾ hours or longer if necessary, stirring frequently or until you see the change from clear liquid to a thicker consistency.
