Ham, Leek and Potato Soup
Chef's Menu Description
A wholesome, deeply comforting soup crafted from slow-simmered stock, aromatic garden vegetables, and fresh herbs, served with crusty bread.
Ingredients
- • 2 leeks (cut into chunks)
- • 400 g gammon joint (cut into chunks, all visible fat removed)
- • 800 g potatoes (cut into chunks)
- • 1500 mls chicken stock (or veg stock (using 2 stock cubes for 1.5 ltr))
- • low calorie cooking spray
Preparation Steps
1
Phase 1
First, sauté the leeks in a few sprays of low calorie cooking spray then add them to the slow cooker. If you use an Instant Pot set it to Sauté.
2
Phase 2
When the leeks start to soften, add the ham and the potatoes.
3
Phase 3
Top up with the stock.
4
Phase 4
Set the slow cooker to high and cook for 4 hours, or until the ham is tender and the potatoes soft.
5
Phase 5
When everything is cooked, if you want the soup a bit thicker, roughly mash up some of the potato with a potato masher, just enough to thicken the soup slightly, then cook for another 30 minutes or so.
