Recipe | How to make quick and tasty Leek and Potato Soup with bacon

I had bought leeks a few weeks back for a recipe which completely fails my memory now (clearly I didn’t think it was worthy of blogging!) and suddenly I had all these leeks sitting in the fridge and wasn’t sure how to use them.

I finally decided on a leek and potato soup. There were potatoes in the fridge and the weather was starting to become colder so it seemed like a good time to be making soup. After searching and browsing 5 or 6 recipes, I found the most suitable one on BBC Good Food’s website. It was a recipe I seemed to have most of the ingredients for (I found bacon in my search too!) and unlike the others which had called for cream or creme fraiche in the recipe, this one only requested milk. Fine by me, also, so quick and simple to prepare.
