Mary Berry's Leek and Potato Soup

saga.co.uk

L. Jean

3 leeks (about 250g/9oz)

1 onion

25g (scant 1oz) butter

500g (1lb 2oz) potatoes

1.2 litres (2 pints) hot chicken stock or vegetable stock*

Salt and freshly ground

Black pepper

Nutmeg

150ml (5fl oz) single cream

1 tsp lemon juice

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or snipped chives, to garnish

note: I have recommended using a good home-made chicken stock here to give depth of flavour, but vegetable stock can be used instead. It will give a lighter taste.

subheading: Special equipment:

A 5-litre (83⁄4-pint) pan

An electric blender
