It's been a busy week with parents' evening and my birthday, so not much time for cooking! But today I made a gorgeous slow cooker leek and potato soup with one of my birthday presents.  It was a new Morphy Richards slow cooker and I love it. 

I haven't made leek and potato soup very often at home before, but I'm always drawn to it, if it's on offer for a restaurant starter, and I do occasionally buy tins of it. There's something very comforting about eating it. The advantage of slow cooking the soup is of course the convenience, but also that you don't need to use any butter. It makes a nice thick, creamy leek and potato soup that keeps really well in the freezer. A definite winter warmer.


If you are doing Slimming World, this recipe is "Syn" free.
