Notes
- Chop the potatoes and leeks into uniform pieces before adding them to the soup maker. This ensures even cooking and reduces blending time.
- To enhance the flavour of the soup, consider sautéing the leeks and garlic in a little olive oil in a pan.
- When adding broth or water, be mindful not to exceed the maximum fill level of your soup maker. Excess liquid can cause spillage during blending.
- This recipe makes a chunky soup. Pulse in short bursts to adjust the texture if you prefer your soup smoother.
