Potato, carrot and leek soup



I am leaving for a month on Sunday (internship for PETA in London :) and I wanted to use all the remaining vegetables from the fridge. I had some leeks and carrots, I bought a few potatoes and made this delicious soup.

3-4 carrots
2 large leeks
4 potatoes
1 onion
6 cloves of garlic (or less if you're not as big a garlic freak as myself;)
vegetable bullion (around 2 liters, depending how thick you like your soup)
salt, pepper, freshly ground chili
1 tsp garam masala
3-4 tbsp olive oil

Heat the olive oil, fry the chopped onions, leeks and carrots for about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, after a few minutes add the bullion and potatoes. Bring to boil and simmer until the potatoes are cooked. Add the spices to taste. Once the soup has cooled down, blend it. Serve with chopped parlsey.
