Method

Add a splash of oil to a large pan. Add the leeks with a pinch of salt and gently sweat until the soften without colouring

Cut the broccoli into florets and finely slice the stalk. Add this to the pan along with the sliced potato. Top with the water or vegetable stock and leave to simmer for 30 minutes

Once the broccoli and potato is very soft, transfer the contents of the pan to a blender and blitz into a smooth soup. Taste and season with salt, pepper and a dash of vinegar or fresh lemon juice to bring it to life

Serve hot and garnish with toasted almonds, chives and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Finish with a crack of black pepper and serve
