(Yes, OK, there was more to it than just three leeks, but it made for a catchy header!)
I am back from my holidays and need to get back on plan and also to economise. So I am getting the most out of everything I cook.
Yesterday I made a simple leek and potato soup. Three leeks sliced, one large potato diced, 500ml chicken stock (made with a Knorr Stockpot), salt, pepper, nutmeg. Blitzed it to a lumpy texture (I like my soups chunky). I had two bowls of that for lunch with some bread.
For lunch today, I added to the leftover soup - half a butternut squash, diced, four skinless/boneless chicken thighs, fat trimmed, cut into six pieces each, and some finely chopped fresh ginger. Simmered that until everything was well cooked. Lunch today was a bowl and a half of that.
The remainder has been frozen and will make a sauce for pasta for some future lunch.
