Potato Leek Soup With Spinach

"Roasting makes this a delicious soup, and it's really easy to play with. I've used Russets with skin on for a very hearty robust flavour, or yellow for a more mild flavour. Once, I only had 2 leeks, and it was still great. Freezes well."

  • Roast vegetables for 40 - 45 mins, stirring occaisionally, or until potatoes are tender.
  • Add the spinach and stir to combine. Roast for 5 more minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
