You can't beat a leek and potato soup, especially when it's ready in just half an hour! Our recipe uses leftover cooked veggies, keeping food waste, budget and time in mind. The smoky prosciutto and fragrant tarragon elevate it to something special, but it's a lovely everyday and wholesome soup too. What's not to love? See method

Method

Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat, then fry the garlic for 1 min, stirring, until fragrant. Add the leftover roasted veg, stir and cook for 5-10 mins to heat through, stirring frequently.
Pour over the stock, then simmer over a low-medium heat for 15 mins, stirring in the spinach for the last 2 mins. Remove from the heat and blitz until smooth, adding 100-150ml boiling water if it’s very thick, then season to taste.
Meanwhile, dry-fry the prosciutto over a medium heat for 5-10 mins until crisp; transfer to a plate and set aside.
Stir 1 tbsp crème fraîche into the soup, then divide between bowls. Swirl through the remaining crème fraîche, then scatter with the prosciutto and tarragon to serve.

Tip: This recipe uses leftovers from our Prosciutto-wrapped chicken with spring veg.
