A great warming and filling soup for winter!
Ingredients
- 2kg Potatoes, peeled, roughly chopped
- 2 leeks, washed, sliced (white section only)
- 2tsp crushed garlic
- 1tsp onion powder
- 1Ltr Chicken Stock
- Meaty smoked Ham Hock
- Tray of Pork bones (optional)
Optional additions
- Cream and Cheese (see method)
Instructions
- Set slow cooker to sear (if your slow cooker doesn't have this function, use a fry pan)
- Add a little olive oil, and fry off leek
- Change setting to LOW
- Add in garlic, potatoes, bones and hock
- Pour stock over, and cook for around 4 hours on low
- Remove smoked hock and pork/bacon bones, set aside to cool enough for ease of handling
- At this point, I blitz the potato mixture.
- Add meat (removed from bones) back into slow cooker, with a slug of cream (optional), and a good handful of tasty cheese (optional), salt and pepper - heat through, and serve with crusty bread
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
How many people does this serve
Is it big slow cooker
The cooker pictured is 5L so I imagine it would serve 4-6
Hubby liked it, it sure made a tonne of soup, could probably have halved the ingredients!
