Justine cooks up a delicious potato soup

Method

Heat oil in a large pot and cook the leek and onions for 5-6 minutes over a medium. Stir continuously to ensure they do not colour. Now add the potatoes and coat in the onion mixture. Cook for another 5 minutes before adding the stock, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil before turning down and simmering for 30 minutes. Once cooked, blend until very smooth and add the cream.

Serve as is or with a poached egg and crispy fried sage.
