Cooking steps

1

Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Thinly slice.

Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.

Peel and chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Finely chop the chives (use scissors if you prefer).

2

Place a large pot over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once the oil is hot, fry the bacon lardons until golden, 3-5 mins, stirring regularly. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly. Once cooked remove from the pan and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the leek, onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. 

Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-6 mins.

Add the potatoes.

3

Pour 650ml water (Per 2P) into the pot along with the stock.

Bring to the boil then simmer until potatoes are fork tender, 15-20 mins.

While the soup is cooking, finely chop the bacon lardons.

Using a blender or food processor, puree until smooth.

If your soup is too thick, add water in small increments until you get your desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4

Divide the soup between two bowls. Sprinkle over the bacon lardons and crumble the blue cheese on top. Scatter over the chives.
