Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 large onion (finely chopped)
- 2 medium carrots (peeled and diced)
- 2 medium leeks (sliced)
- 2 stalks celery (chopped)
- 30 grams butter
- 1.5 liters vegetable stock
- 200 milliliters milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes, carrots, and onion. Slice the leeks and chop the celery.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, leeks, and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened but not browned.
Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the pot. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Pour the vegetable stock into the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and puree until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the milk, salt, and black pepper. Heat gently over low heat, but do not let the soup boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with fresh bread or oatcakes on the side for a traditional touch.
