Fancy a good soup to warm you up on winter evenings?
I recommend the leek soup. I do a cure for it every winter.
It is an excellent vegetable for health and very easy to cook.
So ready for my super economical leek soup recipe? Watch:
- 4 leeks
- 3 potatoes
- 1 onion
- salt, pepper, nutmeg, chives
1. Separate the white from the green of the leeks.
2. Cut and wash the leek whites.
3. Cook them in a pan with a light drizzle of olive oil.
4. Boil water in a pot.
5. Peel the potatoes and the onion then cut them into pieces.
6. Boil the leek greens cut into pieces and washed, the potatoes and the onion in water for 5 min.
7. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
8. Add the leek whites and cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
9. Mix it all up.
10. Salt, pepper, add a pinch of nutmeg and chopped chives.
There you go, your leek soup is ready :-)
You'll see, it's a treat!
Rich in fibre, vitamins, minerals and proteins, leeks are excellent for your health. But where it excels is in taste. In addition, it is very low in calories. So why deprive yourself of it?
In addition, it participates in my detox at the beginning of the year to fill up with vitamins and fiber.
This delicious soup is very economical. At €2 for a bunch of 5 to 6 leeks, this soup won't cost you more than €0.40 per person .
Fill up on essential nutrients without breaking the bank, I say YES! Treat yourself to seasonal vegetables.
And you, what is your favorite vegetable soup? I'm waiting for your recipes in comments.
