This winter warmer soup is very easy and quick to do yet tastes delicious! We started by peeling and roughly cutting the onions, garlic, leeks and potatoes. Saute in a little oil and then we added the potatoes and vegetable stock. We then let simmer for about 25-30 minutes, blitz it and voila soup is ready!
