- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 800ml vegetable stock (approx.)
- Salt and pepper to taste
How To Make Leek And Potato Soup In A Soup Maker:
- Prepare the ingredients: Chop the leeks, potatoes, onion, and garlic. There’s no need to peel the potatoes.
- Sauté (optional): If your soup maker has a sauté function, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil and sauté the onion for 2 minutes, then add the leeks and garlic for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add ingredients: Transfer everything into the soup maker, including the potatoes and vegetable stock. Stir to prevent sticking.
- Cook the soup: Select the ‘smooth’ or ‘chunky’ setting on your soup maker, depending on your preference.
- Season and serve: Once the soup is ready, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Optionally, garnish with croutons, chives, or crispy bacon bits.
Recipe Tips
- Chop leeks evenly: Ensure that the leeks are chopped evenly so they cook uniformly in the soup maker, resulting in a smooth and balanced texture.
- Adjust stock amount for consistency: If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of stock slightly. For a thinner soup, add more stock but stay within your soup maker’s max line.
- Sauté for extra flavor: If your soup maker has a sauté function, sautéing the onions and leeks beforehand enhances their flavor and adds depth to the soup.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Store in the Fridge: Let the soup cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: Freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheat: Warm the soup on the stove or in the microwave. If it thickens, add a little water or stock to thin it out.
