Steps:

• Put all the ingredients in the Froothie Evolve. Start the smooth soup function. It will be ready in 30 minutes
• Heat a little oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and leeks and cook gently for 5 minutes so they soften but don't brown.
• Stir in the garlic (crushed or chopped), the potatoes and the spices. Then add the coconut milk and stock. Simmer for 20 minutes until the potatoes are fully cooked.
• Transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blitz. Alternatively use a stick blender.
• Serve with chopped parsley or croutons

CLASSIC POTATO LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large wide pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, leeks and onion and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and not browned, about 12 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high, pour in the wine and continue to cook, uncovered, until almost dry, about 4 minutes.
• Add the potatoes, bay leaf, thyme, 7 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, covered, until the potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
• Remove and discard the thyme and bay leaf. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and carefully puree until smooth, taking care not to fill the carafe more than half full per batch, or puree with an immersion blender in the pot. Reheat the soup over medium heat until steaming.
• Whisk in the cream and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, a drizzle of oil and a frizzled leeks or shallot if using.

LEEK, POTATO, AND TARRAGON SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add leeks, onion, garlic, and 2 tablespoons water. Cook until leeks are just golden, about 10 minutes. Add potatoes and broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Mix in tarragon. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before continuing.) Stir in cream and yogurt. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.

SRIRACHA & LIME POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large pan of cold salted water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-18 mins until tender. Drain and leave to cool completely.
• Whisk the mayonnaise with the soured cream, sriracha, lime zest and juice, the honey, half the spring onions, most of the coriander and some seasoning.
• Toss the cooled potatoes with the sriracha-mayonnaise mixture until all the potatoes are coated. Tip into a serving bowl and scatter over the remaining spring onions, the rest of the coriander and chilli flakes, if you like.
