Kids love this rich, warming soup but it's elegant enough for adults, too. Great served with garlic bread or gilled cheese. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
2 small leeks, sliced |
1 1/2 lbs carrots, roughly chopped |
2 teaspoons clear honey |
1 pinch dried chili pepper flakes (optional) |
salt and pepper |
1 bay leaf |
8 cups vegetable stock |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat.
2. Add the leeks to the pan, then cook for 3 mins until starting to soften.
3. Add the carrots, honey, chili (if using) and bay leaf, then cook for 2 minutes
4. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 minutes
5. Blend the soup in batches, return to a clean pan, then season to taste. When ready to serve, bring back to a simmer, then ladle into mugs.
6. Add a swirl of soured cream or yogurt if you wish and serve with garlic bread or bacon butties.
