Instructions
1
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Thinly slice.
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Roughly chop the parsley, stalks and all.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
2
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the leek and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-6 mins.

3
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp flour (double for 4p) over the veg. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 min.
- Pour 650ml water (double for 4p) into the pot along with the stock powder.
- Bring to the boil then simmer until potatoes are fork tender, 12-15 mins.
- Add the creme fraiche. Using a blender or food processor, puree until smooth.
- If your soup is too thick, add water in small increments until you get your desired consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

- While the soup simmers, place a large pan over medium-high heat (without oil).
- Once the pan is hot, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.
