Leek & potato soup – thermomix

There is something so homely about leek & potato soup. Thick, creamy and so so warming, it is perfect for those cold, miserable winter days that appear all too often over here in the UK.

The thermomix is absolutely brilliant for soups and makes short work of leek and potato. Toss a few organic ingredients in, twizzle a few nozzles and hang around for half an hour or so…why not throw some garlic parmesan croutons together while you wait! If you don’t have a thermomix but want the recipe it can be found here.

What you’re finished with is a delicious, healthy, heart-warming dish, nothing better at this time of year.

Make sure you make plenty – cover what’s left with clingfilm and leave in the fridge and you’ve a ready made lunch for the next few days.

If you want to go for the healthier option, don’t peel the potatoes. They’re full of lots of fibre and nutrients. But if you’re serving guests for dinner, a quick peel will give you a smarter, purer dish. We didn’t peel them in these photos.

what you’ll need

Equipment: thermomix (we have the TM5)


INGREDIENTS


leek & potato soup – thermomix:
  • 2 leeks, roughly chopped
  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 20g butter
  • 700g potatoes, cubed
  • 850g vegetable stock
  • chives
  • cream
  • garlic parmesan croutons

METHOD


Throw your leeks, onion, garlic and butter into the thermomix bowl and mix, 5 sec/speed 5.

Scrape down the sides and cook 5 minutes/100C/speed 1.

Add your potatoes and stock. Cook 25 minutes/100C/speed 1.

Check the potatoes are tender – cook for a further 5 minutes if not.

Blend 30 seconds/speed 8.

Serve immediately: season to taste, garnish with cream, chives and garlic parmesan croutons.

Or leave to cool before refrigerating for up to 3 days.

    This was our first meal in the tm5. Was magic. We did a little remix though, no garlic or onion and we fried some chicken separately and blitzed it at the end.

    For the vegetable stock, how do you make the 850g? How many tablespoons of stock concentrate to water please?

      Follow the instructions on the stock you use if you have any but I tend to go for one heaped teaspoon per litre. Don’t be afraid to add a little too much though. Hope that helps.

Little change up today with a homemade iced coffee Little change up today with a homemade iced coffee. Few tips from Marcel @theroasteryuk, lots of espressos and finally we got there. Tell you what it was worth the effort ☕️😋 will get the recipe written up asap but a mix of @saintsfdation ‘Marching On’ espresso (buy from @theroasteryuk) with vanilla syrup, milk and ice. Perfect on a hot day like today .....

Finalising kitchen plans with @humphreymunson espe Finalising kitchen plans with @humphreymunson especially on appliances. We’ve currently pencilled in four @gaggenauofficial ovens, two combi steam, two pyrolytic on a separate run of the kitchen for ultimate precision cooking and baking but debating a @lacancheuk on the other side for character/rustic cooking. Fully electric as we’re totally eco here. Does anyone have any experiences or knowledge? Would love to hear opinions ( 📸 taken from HM Felsted showroom).....
