Potato Leek Soup

Ingredients

• 50g of butter
• 3 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
• 2 large leeks
• 1 clove of garlic, finely diced
• 2 sprigs of thyme
• Salt and Pepper, to taste
• Water (enough to cover ingredients)

Method

1. Start by slicing the leeks in half and roughly dicing them. Rinse under water to clean.
2. In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the leeks. Sautée until the leeks have softened. Add the potatoes, garlic, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
3. Add enough water to the pot to just cover the ingredients. You can also use vegetable or chicken stock if you prefer.
4. Cover and cook until the potatoes are fork tender. Once done, remove the sprigs of thyme.
5. Purée until smooth. Add toasted walnuts and drizzle with sour cream to serve. Season with salt and pepper.
