POTATO AND LEEK SOUP

This leek and potato soup is low in fat, but does not skimp on flavour! Mixed herbs, garlic and onion are all used to zest up this delicious soup.

This is a simple and easy recipe for a healthy leek and potato soup. In my version the soup is vegan friendly and has been lighted up. I have not used any bacon or heavy cream, this reduced the calories dramatically. Which makes the soup filling without being too heavy and rich.

We are in the last few weeks of winter and I have been loving soups for dinner. The recipe I am sharing today is one of my favourite soups to warm up to after a long day. If you decided to give this recipe a try please don't forget to send me a pic (@Kitchennewgym) of your soup so I can show you some love.
