Curried Leek and Carrot Soup

So this is one of those soups I make when I don't know what else to make with leeks and carrots.. and when I want something really healthy.

I found the recipe here: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/6450/curried-leek-and-carrot-soup.aspx

I recommend this soup to anyone who wants something healthy, and has leeks and carrots they don't know what to do with!

  • 500g leeks
  • 500g carrots
  • a couple sticks of celery
  • little olive oil
  • 1 potato (normal or sweet)
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1L chicken stock
  • salt and pepper


All the ingredients used.

Wash the carrots, leeks and celery, and peel the carrots.

Chop them all up.

Saute them now in olive oil until the leeks are tender. Add the chopped up potato and curry powder; cook and stir for 2 minutes.

Pour in stock, salt and pepper, and bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the vegetables are very tender. Finally, using a hand-held immersion blender, blend the soup in the saucepan until smooth.

And enjoy with some bread and cheese :-)
