Potato and leek are perfect partners in this soup-er bowl.
It was love at first sight when my friend Renee posted a photo of this on Facebook and I just had to have the recipe! It’s simple to prepare, delicious to eat and freezes well. Soup-er! For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for veggie stock. This recipe has a tad too much volume to fit into my Thermomix but if you’re looking for a Thermomix conversion, try this. You won’t be disappointed!
