Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 cup leek
90g
2 carrots
120g
1 potato
370g
5 garlic cloves
16g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 bunch broccoli
610g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Clean and slice the leek, making sure to discard the dark green parts.
- Peel and chop the carrots into small pieces.
- Peel and dice the potato.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Separate the broccoli into small florets and chop any tender stems.
2. Saute the Aromatics:
- In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic to the pot. Saute for about 3-4 minutes until the leeks are softened and the garlic is fragrant.
3. Add Vegetables:
- Add the chopped carrots and diced potato to the pot. Stir to combine with the leeks and garlic.
- Season with 1 tsp of salt.

4. Cook the Veggies:
- Pour in enough water or vegetable broth to cover the vegetables (about 4-5 cups).
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Let the veggies cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
5. Add Broccoli:
- Add the chopped broccoli florets to the pot.
- Continue to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.
6. Blend the Soup:
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

7. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt if desired.
8. Serve:
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls and enjoy! For an extra touch, you can drizzle each bowl with a bit more olive oil or garnish with fresh herbs and croutons if desired.

Tips:

- For a creamier texture, you can blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth.

- If you prefer a chunkier soup, simply mash some of the potatoes and broccoli with a fork instead of blending.

- You can add a tablespoon of heavy cream or coconut milk for a richer flavor.

- Garnish with a sprinkle of grated cheese or some croutons for added texture and flavor.

- Make sure to wash and rinse the leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt or sand that might be trapped in the layers.

By following these steps, you'll be able to create a delicious Broccoli Potato Soup that's perfect for any season. Not only is it packed with flavor, but it's also loaded with essential vitamins and minerals. Serve it hot with a side of crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
