Ingredients:

50 grams of butter

175 grams carrots

1 leek

50 grams of celery,

25 grams of flour

900 millilitre vegetable stock

175 grams potatoes

Salt and pepper for seasoning

Method:

Start by chopping up the carrots, leek, celery and potatoes into small chunks. Once done, place to the side. Melt the butter in a pan on a medium heat. After the butter has melted, fry the diced carrots, leek and celery for 5 minutes on a medium heat.

Add the flour to the frying pan and cook for a further minute, before blending the stock into the mixture. Bring to the boil before adding the potatoes.

Simmer the mixture for 25 minutes, at this point the vegetables should be cooked through and the soup has a good consistency. Remove from the heat and place in a bowl.

Season with a dash of salt and pepper, and serve.
