A warm & comforting Potato and Leek soup recipe. D

A warm & comforting Potato and Leek soup recipe. Dinners dont get much easier than this comforting potato & leek soup. A warming recipe and bowl of love to start the week. The added bonus- this dinner= very little time required.
+ The herby croutons make it sing. 🎶 🥔
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled & minced
3 leeks, white and light green parts only, cleaned & thinly sliced
1-kilo Russet potatoes, or your choice or floury potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
1.5 litres of stock (chicken or vegetable)
Sea salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 - 2/3 cup of cream
Aleppo chilli pepper flakes, to taste, optional but highly recommended.
To serve: Herby croutons & fresh herbs of your choice eg dill, Parsley, oregano, chives.

Melt the butter and extra virgin olive oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add the sliced leeks and cook, stirring regularly, until nice & soft and very aromatic, about 6-8 minutes. Lower the heat if the leeks are at risk of colouring and browning.
Add the potatoes and stock, and then bring to a boil. Then lower the heat and cover with a lid and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft.
Blitz the soup with a stick blender until smooth.
Add the cream and stir through.
Season to taste with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. I adore the addition of Aleppo chilli pepper flakes, so please add these if you like the idea of that.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with herby croutons on top.
Croutons:
1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled & minced
2-3 thick slices of coarsely torn sourdough bread
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Sea salt
2 tablespoons grated parmesan

To make the croutons, place all the ingredients in a pan, except the salt & parmesan. Fry in a preheated frying pan until each side is crisp and lightly golden.
Lastly, add the sea salt and sprinkle the parmesan over the croutons, and shake the croutons around in the bowl or pan.
.
Wishing you the best week.
Nellie 💕

Two beautiful lads having a kiss & cuddle this Friday night.
Holding those we love super tight. Because love & cuddles make the world go around....especially right now 💛

Emotions can be very overwhelming. It's okay to take time to process and rest without being productive.
🙏🏻
Rest, breathe, get some air.
Do what you know works the best for you.
Me?…. I’m off for a walk with Neddy 🐾

It’s understandable if it’s all a little overwhelming. Our current environment might be becoming our norm and we continue to adapt but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
Productivity can wait. The rest & looking after ourselves … cannot.
@blessthemessy 💛🙌🏻

The last couple of days were amazing & course, pre

The last couple of days were amazing & course, pretty emotionally intense. We got to reach and help many special people with a free meal.
Thank you to our community who helped me to help you by spreading the word to your families and friends and those who need help the most. I feel so sad for your struggles. It’s a very challenging time for so many and we need one another more than ever.

I know what receiving a home-cooked meal feels like ...it is a massive cuddle and a hand held out when you need it most.
I am not going to pretend all ‘peaches’ here...that's just pretending for the sake of the whole social media world. And that can sometimes be a fickle world. But kindness is everything. So I hope we prioritize kindness and caring for one another and holding each other super tight.

On this Sunday , I’m practicing self care. I am going to make it perfectly acceptable to stay here for as long as I need to today. Maybe read a book. Hug a Ned and a good husband & some children 🤗
It looks like Ned is pretty happy & committed to the plan already.

Sending you love and I hope you give yourself some permission to rest today. Go slowly Sunday. 💛

FREE FOOD 12-2pm tomorrow 17/7- You heard right. A little Foodie lockdown love for all our friends who need it most.
As a family, we’ve been there too, more time that we care to tell. I know how very hard it is to accept help but I also know what it meant for us, as a family when we have.
~
After yesterdays lockdown news, our business had placed & accepted deliveries for events for the weekend from our great food (& wine 🍷) suppliers.
We don’t want to waste a thing & we want to share everything with those who need it the most (FOR FREE).
~
I’ve been cooking up some treats in our kitchen today & ……so……if you could use a good foodie cuddle…we’ve got you. We don’t have a lot but we have something. Every ‘something’ is home cooked and delicious. Very small batches. Tasty side dishes also to go along with some steamed rice you might put on or grabbing a BBQ chicken. Small serving sizes (eg soup batches are 650 ml & should serve 2 with crusty bread).
~
DETAILS - Me & Mikey will be at Relish Mama from 12-2pm tomorrow to serve you. There is no fee/charge for the food.
We hope this helps anyone struggling a little bit or a lot. Your story for help does not need any justification.
If you know someone who needs a little meal, or a really nourishing soup or salad, let them know we can help or better still…..come & grab something for them if you can.
You need to be within our 5 km. Sorry - wish we could reach wider 💛
~
We will have small batches of:

Potato & leek soup
Nana’s pumpkin soup
Winter minestrone soup
Nourishing chicken soup
Quinoa, French lentil & herb grain salad
Orrecchieti pasta with tomato Sufi
Orrecchieti pasta with broccoli & lemon
Poached pears in brown sugar syrup
Eggplant curry
Asian style eggplant toss stir fry
