Ingredients

• 600 grams potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 1 large onion (finely chopped)
• 2 medium carrots (peeled and diced)
• 2 medium leeks (sliced)
• 2 stalks celery (chopped)
• 30 grams butter
• 1.5 liters vegetable stock
• 200 milliliters milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes, carrots, and onion. Slice the leeks and chop the celery.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, leeks, and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened but not browned.

Step 3

Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the pot. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Pour the vegetable stock into the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and puree until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 6

Stir in the milk, salt, and black pepper. Heat gently over low heat, but do not let the soup boil.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve hot with fresh bread or oatcakes on the side for a traditional touch.
