PREP TIME: 30 mins SERVES: 8
INGREDIENTS
1 leek, white part only, sliced
40gms butter
1tbsp garlic infused olive oil
1 leek, white part only, sliced
3 sticks of celery
2 small potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
2 medium heads of broccoli, roughly chopped
6 cups of chicken stock (or vegetable)
¼ tsp white pepper
100gm baby spinach, roughly chopped
½ bunch parsley, roughly chopped
¾ cup cream
¾ cup cheddar/tasty cheese, grated
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Sliced stale sour dough baguette
Extra cheddar and Parmesan
METHOD
Heat a medium saucepan over high heat and add the butter and garlic infused olive oil. Once butter has melted add the leeks and reduce heat to medium. Sauté the leeks for 3-4 mins till softened. Add the celery and sauté for another 3-4 mins.
Add the potato, broccoli, stock & white pepper. The broccoli should be just covered in liquid at this stage. Simmer for 20 mins.
Add baby spinach and parsley, simmer for 5 mins till greens have softened.
Using a stick blender blend the soup till nice and smooth. Add the cream and both cheeses and stir well to combine and melt the cheese. You can blitz again with the stick blender if you wish.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees and place the sourdough baguette slices on a baking tray, sprinkle each slice with the extra cheddar and parmesan cheese and bake for 8-10 mins till cheese is golden and bread is toasted.
Serve your soup with the cheesy toasts and enjoy.
