Jamie Oliver’s Carrot and Leek Soup is a blended vegetable soup made by gently sautéing leeks and carrots, simmering them in stock, and blending until smooth. The result is a velvety, lightly sweet soup with a delicate onion-like depth from the leeks.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced

    • 2 medium leeks, cleaned and sliced

    • 1 medium potato, diced (for creaminess)

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 1 litre vegetable or chicken stock

    • Salt and black pepper to taste

    • Optional: fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

Wash leeks thoroughly to remove any grit. Slice carrots, leeks, and potato evenly for consistent cooking.

Step 2: Sauté the Leeks

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and cook gently for 4–5 minutes until soft but not browned.

Step 3: Add Carrots and Potato

Stir in carrots and diced potato. Cook for 2–3 minutes to release flavor.

Step 4: Add Stock and Simmer

Pour in the stock and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Step 5: Blend Until Smooth

Remove from heat and blend using a hand blender until smooth and creamy.

Step 6: Season and Serve

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve warm.
