Curried Potato Soup Recipe

Recipe:

Step 1: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the leeks and cook until soft – about 4 minutes. Add the curry powder and stir about 2 minutes until spice is cooked.

Step 2: Stir in the chicken stock and potatoes. Bring them to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft – about 15 minutes. Pour into a blender and puree in batches until smooth.

Step 3: Pour into a clean pot and stir in the cream. Taste for seasonings and adjust as needed. Reheat gently until piping hot, then garnish with chives or coriander.
