Unlimited access. Half the price.
Ingredients
4 medium onions, peeled and diced
3 leeks, white parts only, sliced thinlyÂ
2 sticks of celery, choppedÂ
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubedÂ
3 tbsp of good olive oilÂ
sea salt
black pepperÂ
bunch of chives, choppedÂ
Method
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the onion first, moving it around in the pan, until it begins to soften and turn translucent about two minutes.
Add the leeks, celery and potato, coating everything in the oil and letting it cook for another five or so minutes, stirring regularly. Make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan. Season generously with sea salt and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper.
Add 1.5 litres of cold water to the pan, bring slowly to the boil and then turn the heat down and leave to bubble gently for around 45 minutes. Check the seasoning again and then serve with plenty of chopped chives sprinkled over.
