Ingredients
- 200g leeks
- 800g potatoes (floury)

Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables. Chop the potatoes into evenly sized pieces, about 2cm square. Slice the leeks.

- Take the saucepan off the heat and whilst still warm, use a hand blender to blend the soup to your preferred consistency. If using milk, add at this stage to your taste and mix in thoroughly.

- Ladle the soup into bowls. Before serving, if using, add a dollop of double or sour cream.
