Leek and Potato Soup

Ingredients

  • 3 large baking potatos (any potatos will realy do but these are the best).
  • 4 Whole leeks.
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Water (don't use stock)

Directions

This is probably the easiest hot winter soup recipe ever.. I cook it
when camping in Wales! Makes four servings.

If you have a pressure cooker this can be done in 5 minutes, other
wise it takes a little longer.

This is the Hardest bit.: Wash the leeks on the outside then chop them
up, use all of the leeks as the green bit is one of the best bits.
Chop then width wise into 1 cm chunks. Then wash these VERY carefully
as any grittyness will spoil this soup. Scrub the potatos. Chop into
2cm (1inch) squares.

Heat oil in sauce/pressure cooker Whenb hot fry the leeks. Do not
allow them to go brown. When limp add the potato chunks and stir
around for a few seconds. Add water to cover them 2 cm above the
highest potato.

Cooking time will vary depending on the potatos. Basicly eat when
they are done.
