Very tasty. It’s hard to go wrong with potatoes and leeks. They seem a perfect combination especially when it comes up to soup, such as this chunky leek and potato soup. It was very easy to make, and packed with great flavors. If you prefer smooth soup, puree it in a food processor or blender. In whichever way, it’s always delicious.

Add the yeast extract. Stir well, reduce heat and add the leeks, black pepper, bay leaves and caraway seed.
