Potato and Leek Soup a la Thermie

Potato and Leek Soup a la Thermie text

I had a craving for a good old fashioned soup-er bowl of leek and potato goodness so I went back through the archives, stumbled upon this recipe and gave it a bit of a revamp. It’s still as good as it was, only better. Thick, creamy and full of yum! If you’re looking for a non-Thermomix version try this.
