A twist on a classic, this leek potato and watercress soup is deliciously creamy and smooth. The watercress adds an 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!).

I hope you enjoy this leek potato and watercress soup recipe as much as I do. If you do make it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
