Potato and Leek Soup
Leeks and potatoes are alkaline vegetables and therefore is a great way for those trying an alkaline based diet to help improve their symptoms. This is one of the popular soups that I made in a cafe I was once involved with. It is delicious and just what you need on a cold winters day plus its packed with vitamins. As leeks belong to the same family as onions and garlic, the health benefits of this soup is ideal to help the strengthen the immune system and ward off those nasty bugs and germs. Quick and easy to make.
2 medium leeks
2 medium potatoes
4 cups of homemade chicken and vegetable stock
2 teaspoons of garlic
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 teaspoons of salt
Pepper to taste
Wash and chop up leeks into small pieces. Fry with olive oil on low to
medium heat until leeks are nice and soft.
While leeks are slowly cooking, peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes.
Once leeks are nice and soft, add the potatoes, chicken stock and salt and bring
to the boil. Once boiled bring heat down to a lower temperature, cover and
simmer for about 30 minutes until potatoes are soft. Take off the heat and let cool slightly, blend together with hand blender until smooth. Add pepper to taste. The key ingredient to this soup is the pepper so don't be scared to add lots of pepper.
