With our raised beds over flowing with harvesting veggies we have been digging into some really great recipes from friends. This is our friend Christines Leek Soup recipe. Christine also hosts an Instagram page supporting local businesses in the north durham area. You can check out @_like_a_local_
Ingredients;
- Olive oil
- 2 large cloves garlic, diced
- 1 enormous leek and 1 slightly less enormous leek, sliced (probably the equivalent of 4-5 regular size leeks)
- 7 med potatoes, diced
- 2-3 celery stalks, diced
- 1 1/2 litres veggie broth
- 2 cups coconut almond milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Step 1;
First we used the carrot peels, onion skins and celery leaves to make veggie broth.
You can see more about pre made Vegetable broth on Amy's Vegetable Broth blog post. But essentially you bring all the scraps to a boil, add your seasonings and simmer for about 1 hour.
Step 2;
Sauté garlic, celery and leeks in olive oil until soft. Add diced potatoes and broth. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3;
Boil, then reduce to simmer until potatoes are cooked.
Step 4;
Remove from heat, add coconut almond milk and stir.
Step 5;
Blend 2/3 in blender and add back to pot.
