Spinach, Leek and Potato Soup (Recipe)

Ingredients

25 g Butter
2 Leeks, medium, trimmed, sliced and thoroughly washed
3 Floury potatoes, or all-purpose potatoes, medium, peeled and diced
1 Ltr Vegetable stock, or use chicken stock or water
1 pinch Ground nutmeg
1 pinch Salt and freshly ground black pepper
500 g Spinach, washed, with tough stalks cut off

Melt the butter in a large, heavy saucepan and add the leeks. Cook gently for 5 minutes until the leeks start to collapse but are still pale.

Add the potato and cook gently for another 5 minutes or until the potato starts to stick to the bottom of the saucepan. Season with a pinch of nutmeg and salt and pepper, then add the stock.

Stir the soup while you bring it to the boil, then simmer until the vegetables are completely tender.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?
