It's coming on to autumn/winter in the southern hemisphere and I'm
expanding my repertoire of soups, my current favourite is Leek and Potato.
Ingredients
-----------
2 medium potatos (I've been using pink ones) + water
1 leek or 2 large onions
1 cup/can of corn kernals
1/2-1 cup peas/beans (frozen is great)
1 cup no-fat soy milk
1 cup water
Method
------
Peel potatos if necessary.
Cut potatos into cubes, wash and add to saucepan.
Cover potatos with water and bring to boil.
Simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and rinse under cold water.
Slice leek thinly or cube onions.
Add potato, leek/onion, corn kernals, greens, milk and water to
saucepan. Don't worry if some ingredients stick out over the top.
Bring to boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes until greens and onion are
cooked. Remove from heat.
Spoon roughly half of the mixture into a food processor (including some
of the liquid) and puree. Return to saucepan and mix through.
Reheat and add spices and herbs to taste I like to add
- oregano
- basil (dried or fresh)
- coriander (dried or fresh)
- cummin powder
- salt or a vegetable stock cube
- black pepper
- asafoetida
This makes enough to serve 6 people.
Enjoy.
