Jamie Oliver Sweet Potato And Leek Soup Ingredients

• 1 pound sweet potatoes
• 1 pound leeks

• 2 medium onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1.5 quarts chicken or vegetable broth (organic preferred)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

How To Make Jamie Oliver Sweet Potato And Leek Soup

1. Prep the Veggies: Peel and slice the carrots, celery, and onions. Trim the ends off the leeks, quarter them lengthwise, and wash them. Then, slice them into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel and slice the garlic.
2. Heat the Broth: In a separate saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil.
3. Cook the Veggies: Place a large saucepan on high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add all the prepped veggies and garlic. Stir with a wooden spoon and cook for about 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. The veggies should soften but still hold their shape.
4. Add Sweet Potatoes and Broth: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch cubes. Add the boiling broth and the sweet potato cubes to the saucepan with the veggies. Stir well and bring to a boil.
5. Simmer and Season: Reduce the heat, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 10 minutes. After simmering, remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. To Serve: You can serve the soup as is, or blend it until smooth using an immersion blender. Optional: Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a dollop of natural yogurt for extra flavor.
