Servings: persons

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 brown onion
3 cloves garlic
1 stick celery
1 carrot
2 leeks
1 handful kale
5 baby potatoes (skin on)
20 ounces water
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1
Saute your finely diced onion, garlic, celery, carrot and bay leaf in olive oil with the salt for about 10 minutes on medium. It sounds like a while, but it makes such a difference as the caramelization of these ingredients ads wonderful sweetness to the soup.
2
Add in your chopped potatoes and water, and bring to the boil. With the lid on, let it simmer for 7 minutes.
3
Next, add the leaks and simmer for a further 7 minutes. It might not look like you have enough liquid at this point, but don't be alarmed if everything looks all stewy, you can always add more water later.
4
Remove the lid and throw in a handful of kale and the peas. Stir through for just a minute to warm the ingredients through. You barely want to cook the peas, the slightly undercooked peas not only give it a wonderful freshness, but a beautiful green color.
5
Fish out the bay leaf and using your wand, blitz everything together(or allow it to cool slightly if using a blender to avoid an explosion!).
6
Adjust the seasoning, and add a touch of water if it's too thick.
7
Enjoy with crusty buttered bread. Yum!
