Ingredients

3 leeks (washed and sliced)
700g (1½lb) potatoes (peeled and diced)
25 g (1oz) butter or vegan margarine
1l (1½ pints) light vegetable stock or water

Garnish (optional)

Chopped parsley
3-4 tbsp double cream or non-dairy cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. Fry the leeks and potatoes very gently in the butter or vegan margarine in a large saucepan, covered, for 10 minutes, stirring often.
2. Cook gently, without browning, still covered, for a further 10 minutes, stirring from time to time to prevent vegetables sticking to the pan.
3. Add the stock or water, stir, then simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
4. Purée in a blender or food processor, adding the cream if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper, stir, and serve in warmed bowls, sprinkled with a little chopped parsley, if used.
