Have just made a leek and carrot soup. A new one on me. If you have a sweet tooth this would be ideal. The carrots sweetness comes through but didn't over flavour the leeks

I used one large leek, two medium carrots and veg stock. Cubed the veg poured on stock about half way up the bowl and microwaved for 8 minutes. Then liquidized it, added some black pepper and ate

We often have homemade soup on a Monday with leftover veg from Sunday roast - hubby always cooks far too much If we've had chicken we make stock with the bones, if not use a stock cube or two, whizz the stock up with the leftover veg & season, very simple & healthy tea - tomorrows will have leeks, carrot & swede, broccoli, peas & sweetcorn oh and some potatoes, bit of a leek & potato soup with extra veg, delicious
sweet and sour sauce should be fine Smilez, just check the fat per 100g on the label...less than 5 per cent is ok or check for the 'lite' options in the sauces
soup is being made today after shopping!
