Ingredients
1 tsp olive oil, for frying
2 onions, finely sliced
3 medium leeks, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 red chilli, finely diced
1 tbsp flour
3 Maris piper potatoes (700-800g), scrubbed and 1cm diced
300ml Alpro Soya No Sugars drink
1.2L reduced salt vegetable stock
150g tinned sweetcorn, drained
1 lemon, juice and zest
3 tbsp chives, finely chopped
150g young spinach
4 thin slices wholemeal bread
Lemon wedges to serve
Method
In a large deep saucepan, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onions, leeks and chopped chilli and gently fry for 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
Add the garlic, flour and potatoes and fry for 3-4 minutes stirring, until they start to cook through, and the flour has coated the vegetables.
Stir in the Alpro Soya No Sugars drink and stock, a good pinch of black pepper and bring to a simmer, stirring regularly. Pour in the sweetcorn and lemon and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 30-40 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the soup coats the back of a spoon. Stir in the spinach 10 minutes before the end of cooking.
Once ready, stir in the chives and serve with bread and extra lemon wedges to serve.
