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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
