Fish, potato, and leek soup

This recipe was made from a combination of various leek and potato recipes that we came across.  Since we wanted a meat component, we added the basa fillets, which turns out to be a great addition to the soup.  The longer you cook the soup, the better.   This is definitely a must-have on a cold winter’s day.

Ingredients

The entire meal, stack of crapes, ground beef and leak soup.

  • 2 basa fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 leeks, chopped
  • 6 small potatoes, diced
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 300 mL 2% milk
  • 500 mL low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. In chicken broth, boil potatoes till tender (~ 30 min).  Then add milk.
  2. Sauté onion and garlic in butter (~ 3 min).
  3. Add leeks; simmer (~3 min).
  4. Add fish and pepper; simmer (~10 min).
  5. Once potatoes are mashed, combine mixture; stir well until desired consistency.  Serve.

Makes 6 servings.
