Step 1 - Chop The Leeks & Onion

Place the halved onion and the roughly chopped leeks into the Thermomix bowl.

Saute for 5 minutes, until soft and fragrant.

Cook the potatoes with the sauteed vegetables for 5 minutes.

Step 4 - Add The Stock

Add the chicken stock liquid (do NOT exceed the MAX line) and season with salt and pepper.

Cook for 20 minutes (with the MC removed) and with the splatter guard or rice basket in place to catch any splatters.

Step 5 - Puree & Add Cream

Allow the soup to cool slightly.

Puree the soup, again with the MC removed and with the splatter guard or rice basket in place to catch any splatters.

• Make a batch of bacon and cheese muffins or ham, cheese and corn savoury muffins for the perfect side to your creamy soup.

FAQ's

Expert Tips

Making Potato & Leek Soup in a Thermomix machine is so easy!

Here's my top tips...

• Never exceed the MAX line - if you find that you are getting close to the MAX line, simply omit some of the liquid chicken stock.
• Use the splatter guard or rice basket to avoid splatters when cooking - leave the MC off (measuring cup) and place the splatter guard (or use the rice basket in earlier models) over the top to prevent any splatters.
• Allow the soup to cool slightly before pureeing - it can be dangerous to use the Thermomix at high speeds to puree while the soup is still hot. Allow it to cool slightly and then use the splatter guard/rice basket to prevent splatters.
• Store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze the soup in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
