Utensils
•Immersion blender
Instructions
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Thinly slice.
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Roughly chop half the parsley (double for 4p), stalks and all.
2
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot (for the soup) on medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the leek and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the leek until softened, 4-6 mins. Stir occasionally.
- Add the potatoes and cook for 1 min.
3
- Sprinkle 2 tbsp flour (double for 4p) over the potato and leek. Mix together and cook for 1 min, stirring frequently.
- Add the stock and 450ml water (double for 4p). Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-12 mins, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the creme fraiche. Using a blender or food processor, blend the mixture until smooth.
- Add more water, in small increments, if you'd like your soup to be thinner. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
- While the soup simmers heat a large pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
- Once the pan is hot, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.
- Add a drizzle of oil (if required) and the breadcrumbs. Fry for an additional 1 min, until the crumbs are golden.
- Remove from the heat and mix together with the chopped parsley.
5
- Once the soup is almost ready, pop the brioche buns onto a baking tray.
- Warm through in the oven, 2-3 mins.
6
- Dish up a hearty helping of potato and leek soup.
- Top with the chorizo and parsley crumb and serve with a warmed brioche bun.
