This recipe starts with fridge leftovers. As all good meals should. Some reduced price Leeks, a bag of potatoes and a few other bits and pieces. I happened to watch a cooking show yesterday - Ree Drummond The Pioneer Woman Cooks. She cooked some incredible looking beans and corn bread. Recipe here -Campfire Beans.
So here it is:
2 whole Leeks
1/2 Red onion
8-10 medium potatoes
2 pints of good stock (Marigold Bouillon is my fave)
1 medium sweet potato
Any other stock veg you have lying about such as Celery, Onion, Carrot
Chop everything roughly.
Fry off the veg in some butter until soft, add a bit of salt.
Add chopped potatoes and stock.
Simmer until the potatoes are soft and breaking up. 25minutes or so.
Blend until smooth.
Season with salt and pepper, add cream if you fancy. Serve.
If you want a tasty bean centre, follow the bean recipe above in advance and then serve together. I made a simple version with some fancy Heinz beans, smoked paprika and left over sticky chilli roast chicken. Just fry some smoked paprika with garlic and onion or spring onions, add whatever meats, (chorizo, bacon, chicken are all good) add some baked beans and heat through. Dump in the middle of the hot soup and eat. I'd highly recommend Ree's Corn bread with it too, would work really well. If fact any fresh bread would be fantastic, sourdough or soda bread, some kind of beet or potato bread. Anything really, with a good layer of butter.
I only just finished eating and I'm making myself hungry again. Oops.
