Cooking Steps

Prep the Veg
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).
Soften the Leek
2
  • Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the leek and garlic. Season with salt and pepper
  • Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-6 mins.
  • Add the potatoes and cumin and cook for 1 min.
Simmer the Soup
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.
  • 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.
Make the Crumb
4
  • 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.

  • Cook, stirring, until the breadcrumbs are golden, 2-3 mins.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the parsley.
