Potato and Leek Soup

Potato and Leek Soup

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon cooking oil
3 leeks, sliced
700 grams chopped potatoes
2 cubes vegetable stock (or just water)
2 cups water
1 cup buttermilk
Bacon pieces (cooked) (optional)
Salt and pepper to season

In a large saucepan heat the butter and oil, then cook the leeks until they are slightly soft. Add the potatoes, vegetable stock and water. Then simmer for about 20 minutes or so, until the potato is cooked.

Pour the soup into a blender or use a stick-blender to process the soup until it is smooth and creamy. Then stir in the buttermilk, the bacon if you are using and season with salt and pepper.
