This leek and potato soup is so delicious and really easy to make! Whenever the weather is a little colder than usual I always crave a comforting soup for my lunch and my chunky leek and potato soup is the perfect recipe to warm up with!

This soup is so easy to make and you can make it even easier by just throwing all of the ingredients into a soup maker and leaving it to do all the work. I do have a soup maker but chose to cook this on the hob so I could write up step by step instructions for those of you who don’t have one.

I like my soup pretty thick and chunky but if you prefer a smooth soup you can always blend it by using either a hand blender or pouring it into a food processor and blitzing for a few minutes once it has cooled. You may also want to add more liquid once you have removed the cover before cooking for a final ten minutes, however, this simply comes down to personal preference.

I do not peel the potatoes in this soup but you can add this step in if preferred. I like to stir fresh parsley, dill and chives through this before serving but this is completely optional.
