Recipe Notes

I love Kallo stock cubes - the salt content is very low so it puts you in control of that and the flavour is good, whilst not overtaking the flavour of the dish.
You can use a medium leek instead of the onion if you have some to hand - just wash it very thoroughly to get the mud out of it's leaves.
I like my soups thick so add 400ml stock only but you may wish to add more or some boiling water as you blend to thin it down.
