There’s nothing quite like a classic Irish leek and potato soup to warm you up.

Ingredients

Leek

4 medium, sliced

Potatoes, Raw

450 g, cut into chunks

Vegetable stock cube

2 cube(s), to make 2 pints

Low Fat Soft Cheese

125 g, with garlic and herbs

Skimmed Milk

2 tablespoon(s)

Chives, Fresh

1 tablespoon(s), snipped, to garnish

Instructions

  1. Put the leeks, potatoes and stock into a large lidded saucepan. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for about 25 minutes – or until the vegetables are tender.
  2. Purée half the soup in a blender or food processor, or use a handheld stick blender, adding 100 g of the soft cheese. Stir in the unblended soup and reheat gently. Season to taste.
  3. Mix the remaining soft cheese with the skimmed milk to give a smooth consistency.
  4. Ladle the soup into warm bowls and top each portion with a swirl of the soft cheese mixture. Sprinkle with chives and extra black pepper before serving.
