Potato And Leek Soup Maker Ingredients
Potatoes – Lets start with the potatoes. You can use sweet, white, any variety you want. Just prep and load them into the soup maker. We used loads of potatoes that were leftover and were developing growth as then we can peel them and avoid food waste.
Leeks – You can use little or large leeks. I was jut having a clear out and used one large and one small.
Stock – I recommend some veggie stock to make your leek and potato soup taste more flavoursome. We make our own instant pot veggie stock and then freeze it for soups and stews.
Cream – Towards the end you will find that you will need something extra for the right texture. You can use cream, Greek yoghurt, milk or even some cream cheese like Philadelphia.
Garlic – My soup maker hack is to buy either some frozen chopped garlic or some garlic puree. It makes the soup so much easy to prep for.
Seasonings – For seasonings, we are keeping it simple with salt and pepper and dried chives.
