A twist on a classic , this Leek Potato and Watercress Soup is deliciously creamy and smooth. The watercress adds a invigorating peppery note, perfect for this time of the year when we are still experiencing cold days while longing for spring.

Whether for lunch, dinner or after a yoga class when the weather is chilly, soup is always my nutritious meal option. I prepare a batch of soup at least once a week. It not only helps me get the kids to eat more vegetables but also ensures that I can make the best of seasonal vegetables, especially when I have odds and ends lurking in the fridge (which happens a lot!).
