Potato and Leek Soup
What you need
- 2 potatoes
- 1 leek
- butter
- a splash of milk
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Sweat the sliced leek in butter without colouring it. Add diced potato and enough water to cover, simmer twenty minutes, mash and loosen with milk.
How it feels to make
Leeks squeak against the knife when you slice them. Nothing else in the kitchen does that.
Mom wrote on the back
Wash the leek properly, right inside the layers. Grit ruins the whole pot.
