    How to Make an easy Potato Bacon and Leek Soup - both regular and Thermomix instructions included.

    Now that the weather is FINALLY cooling down, I’ve been craving and enjoying making yummy soup recipes like this Potato, Bacon and Leek Soup. This really is a great budget recipe as you don’t need a lot of ingredients to put it together and you most likely have a lot of the ingredients you need already in your pantry.

    How to Make an easy Potato Bacon and Leek Soup - both regular and Thermomix instructions included.

    I used two large potatoes for this recipe, but if your potatoes are on the smaller side just make sure you use an extra one or two, as you will need around 600 grams of potato for this soup.  Also it’s important to make sure that you are VERY careful when it comes to blending the soup. Please make sure you let it cool slightly before pureeing and please take care.

    You will get around four serves of Potato Bacon and Leek Soup from this recipe, and if you are making it using the regular method, you can certainly double the ingredients to feed a crowd (the cooking time will be a little longer) however please DON’T increase the quantities if making this soup using a Thermomix or other type of Thermal cooking machine as you will exceed the maximum capacity of your bowl.

    • 2 large Potatoes peeled and cut into pieces no bigger than 4cm.
    • 30 grams butter
    • 1 brown onion
    • 1 leek
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 1 litre chicken stock
    • ½ cup milk

    • Remove the soup from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes before adding approximately ¼ of the cooked bacon and blend with a stick mixer until a smooth consistency is achieved.
    • Divide the blended Potato Bacon and Leek Soup amongst your bowls and sprinkle with the remaining cooked bacon pieces to serve.

          Hi, I haven’t tried it with the chicken stock, I’d probably suggest a tablespoon would be a good place to start.
