It's soup weather & we like to serve up the heartiest of soups.
This is our way of saying "Screw you winter - You will NEVER get the better of us!"
- Go ahead and get:
- A little chunk of butter
- 4 bacon rashers (pop one of these aside for a garnish)
- 1 onion , diced
- 3 or more garlic cloves (obviously to your own preference)
- 2 leeks, thinly sliced and well washed
- Roughly 1kg of Royal Blue potatoes
- 4 cups of vegetable stock & 4 cups of water
- Sea salt and cracked pepper for seasoning.
FIRST - You'll cook up all your bacon. We like to cook first & chop second - avoids some of the spitting. Drain on paper towels to soak up that fatty goodness.
Chop all your goodies - Potatoes, diced, garlic, finely chopped, onion, diced & leek, thinly sliced, so they're all ready to go
Use your little chunk of butter to saute the garlic, onion & leek in your soup pot until soft & fragrant. Add stock and 1 litre of water - Bring to the boil before adding potatoes. Season generously with sea salt and cracked pepper.
Reduce heat and simmer for until potatoes are soft (about 30 mins) before adding your bacon. Now you can take your soup off the heat to cool slightly and whip up with your bar mix until all the big chunks are history.
Serve in your LARGEST soup bowls, slap a salty piece of bacon across the top & add some freshly cracked black pepper. Aaaaaaand VOILA!
Serve with the crustiest buttered white bread you can find & you have yourself one heck of a winter warmer.
Cook it Mofos.
