Leek and potato soup - Naturally gluten free and delicious! Original recipe by The Hairy Bikers

I was inspired to make this delicious leek and potato soup after seeing the Hairy Bikers rustle it up with such ease, on one of their programmes. The extra sign to give this soup a go, came after receiving a recipe request for a leek and potato soup from one of my lovely followers. I hope the video demonstrates how nice and simple this soup is to pop together. I can also confirm it tastes SO good and it got the thumbs up from Neil as well. We enjoyed this comforting soup with freshly buttered toast. Mine was gluten free of course... toasted on clean foil under the grill as always! Here's the written recipe for this yummy leek and potato soup, just in case it wasn't clear in the video... Ingredients 45g salted butter (or a dairy free alternative) 2 large leeks, washed well and finely sliced (I washed again once sliced) 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into small dice 300ml gluten free chicken stock (you could use gf veg stock instead) 300ml milk (I used full fat but semi skimmed or a dairy free alternative would be fine) Plenty of ground white pepper (double check suitable for gf/dietary needs) Method Gently melt the butter in a large heavy botttomed pan. Add the prepared leeks and gently cook until they have softened. Add the diced potatoes and stir well. Pour in the stock and then the milk, and again stir well. Add a sprinkling of white pepper. Pop a lid on the pan and bring to a boil, before reducing the heat to allow the soup to gently simmer. Leave to cook for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes have softened. Turn off the heat and leave the pan to stand for a few minutes before blending the soup with a stick blender until its lovely and smooth. Season two taste and serve in warmed bowls. I sprinkled over a little dried parsley (again always check dietary suitability) and finished with a good few twists of cracked pepper! Thanks as ever for watching the videos I share. As always, please do get in touch if you have any questions.
