How To Make creamy salmon and leek soup
-
Step 1Heat the oil in a large saucepan and add the leeks and bay leaf.
-
Step 2Cook over a low heat for 8-10 minutes or until the leek is soft, then add the potatoes and stir until coated in the oil.
-
Step 3Add the broth and cream and bring to a simmer, then gently bubble for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
-
Step 4The recipe can be frozen at this point but under-cook the potatoes slightly. When ready to serve, defrost and bring back to a simmer to finish cooking and continue the recipe.

Step 5Add two-thirds of the smoked salmon, stir through and season.
