Leek and potato Soup

This a great autumn soup, it uses what is in season and is great on a cold day served with bread or croutons. I find that any soup i make that uses potatoes as a base is a bit heavy and is perfect for autumn and winter. This soup is one of my favourites.

Serves 6

450gr      washed and chopped leeks

550gr      peeled and chopped potatoes

2              sticks of washed celery

2tbs        sunflower oil

2lt           chicken or vegetable stock

               salt and pepper

2             heads of celery, washed

1dl          sunflower oil

20lt         chicken or vegetable stock

                salt and pepper

In a Large pan warm up the oil and add the washed and chopped leeks, cook the leeks until soft. Add the chopped and washed celery and cook for about 3 minutes and the add the potatoes. Add the stock and cook untill the potatoes are soft. Blend the soup till smooth, taste and add salt or pepper if you think it needs it.
