Spicy Potato and Leek Soup

For todays lunch I made Spicy Potato and Leek soup. It has been one of those things I have been making for years and years.

I like to add chilli to it as I think it complements the other flavors. But I know chilli is not everyone's cup of tea so leave it out if you like.

You will need;

2 medium sized leeks

4 medium sized potatoes (use good quality ones or they just end up breaking)

5 cloves of garlic grated

4 tablespoons of vegetable stock

a few shakes of paprika

chilli flakes to taste

Olive oil

Cut up the leeks and garlic and fry in the olive oil. Whilst that is frying cut up your potatoes into cubes and then fry them along with the leeks and garlic.

I would then put the paprika and chilli flakes in.

After these have cooked a little pour boiling water into the medium sized pot pretty much up to the top.

Then add the vegetable stock. I usually end up putting a little more in then 4 tablespoons as I like it very flavorsome.

Leave to boil for about 20 mins or until potatoes are soft.

That is pretty much it. Its so easy to make and tastes so good. Yuuuummm.

Also, these are my favorite patent leather shoes from New Look and Necklace from a little boutique in Sydney.

This is what I am wearing to play my gig tonight.
