Green Day Leek and Sweet Potato Chowder

*angie*

loves food and cooking
Made a lovely lunch today using bits and bobs in the fridge! I had the original idea of leek and potato, but it developed from there :D We very much enjoyed it, and I know it will freeze well too if you have any left over - this is creamy, comforting food at it simplest :)

Leek, Parsnip and Sweet Potato chowder

Serves 2 -3,
one HA or 6 syns for total recipe

2 leeks
1 chunky parsnip
1 sweet potato
1 handful frozen peas
250 ml SS milk (1 HEA or 6 syns)
2 tsp chicken bovril (from a jar)

Slice the leek and sweat it (soften without colouring) in a frylighted pan.
Add the chopped parsnip and chopped sweet potato.
Add the milk, one pint water, and 2 tsp chicken bovril.

Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 mins.

Set aside some of the chunks of vegetable, and blend the rest (I use a stick blender), return the chunks of veg to the pan and add a handful of frozen peas.

Return the pan to the heat for just long enough to heat the peas.
