This is a delicious creamy soup, adding the fromage frais really makes a difference to the taste.<\/p>\n

Serves: 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Syns: FREE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time Taken: 45 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Difficulty: Easy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • 1 large onion<\/li>\n
  • 2 bay\u00a0leaves<\/li>\n
  • 1.2 litres\u00a0chicken or\u00a0veg stock<\/li>\n
  • 700g potatoes<\/li>\n
  • 1 large leek<\/li>\n
  • 150g far-free natural fromage\u00a0frais<\/li>\n
  • 2 tbsp freshly chopped chives<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Method<\/h4>\n

    Peel and finely chop the onion. Place in a large saucepan along with the bay leaves and 150ml of the stock. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, peel and finely dice the potatoes. Trim the leek and slice lengthwise. Rinse under cold water to remove any trapped earth. Shake well to remove excess water and then shred.<\/p>\n

    Add the potato and all but a few shreds of the leek. Pour in the remaining stock and season well. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 25 minutes until tender.<\/p>\n

    Discard the bay leaves and transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and return to the saucepan.<\/p>\n

    Blend in the fromage frais and reheat gently without boiling. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Ladle into warmed soup bowls, sprinkle with black pepper, reserved shredded leek and chopped chives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
