Time for my first post! I'll start with an old favourite:

Leek and potato soup (5-6 portions)



10 medium sized white potatoes
1 large leek
5 cups of water (750ml)
3 knorr vegetable stock cubes
150ml sour cream
A pinch of pepper

Peel the potatoes and cut into small pieces. Cut into half a couple of times, then slice to get smaller pieces that cook faster. Place in a large pot.
Slice the leek, both the white and the green, and chop into pieces. Rinse under running water in a sieve. Add the leek and water to the pot. The water should be just covering the leek and the potatoes. Put the stock cubes in the pot and push them down a bit so they are immersed in the water.
Boil on high heat for 30 minutes. Mash with a hand potato masher until most of the potato is mashed and the soup has reached a thicker consistency, but not completely smooth. If the potato still feels difficult to mash, boil for another 5 min at a time. Add a pinch of black or white pepper as you wish, and the sour cream.
Stir and serve.

Serving tip: serve with a slice of ryvita topped with cress or cheese and cucumber.
