I actually made this soup on a sunny Saturday. However, this soup is also made in the winter as well. The potatoes makes the soup really thick so you don’t need to use cream. However, for your preferred consistency you can thin it down with milk and stock so it is not as heavy.

Adding the spring onion complements the leeks and gives it extra flavour. Also the broccoli gives it extra bite and sweetness. Prep and cooking time is quick and efficient too. A great meal to have at any time of day.
