After a recipe for quick and easy soup? Go for this classic potato and leek soup that's topped with crispy potato skins for added crunch.

Method

Step 1 of 3

Peel potatoes and reserve peels. Chop potatoes into 2cm pieces. Heat half the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook potato skins for 2 minutes or until golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

Step 2 of 3

Heat remaining oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add leek, onion, thyme, garlic and chopped potato. Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until onion and leek have softened. Add stock and 2 cups water, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 12 minutes or until potato is tender. Stir in spinach.

Step 3 of 3

Using a stick blender, puree mixture until smooth. Season. Divide soup among bowls, drizzle over cream and top with potato skins. Season with pepper and serve with bread.
