Potato-Leek soup

I eat soups often. You can make them normally quite fast and simple. There is so much great options for delicious soups! This on is one of my favourite soups, that my mom always made me when i was sick. It's fast and simple to make and really good. Here is a recipe for you to make it:

• About 8 potatoes (normal size)
• One Leek
• 1-2 Vegetarian stock cube
• 3-5 Garlic cloves
• Salt & pepper
• Some mixed herbs like thyme, tarragon, oregano ect. 
• About 1 liter water
• 1 dl cream (optional soy cream if you want to make it vegan)
• Couple drops of Olive Oil
• Some grated cheeze on top (optional)

First you peel the potatoes and cut them on small cubes. Add  the potatoes, water and the vegetarian stock in a pot, let it come to boil. Meanwhile cut the Leek and garlic. Add them to the boiling water. Let it boil about 20 minutes or so, until the potatoes are soft. Pour the stock in a bowl, leave about 2 dl on the bottom of the pot. Use a hand blender to mash the potatoes and leek into a smooth puree, add the stock a little bit more to make it more like a soup, but not too much. Save space for the cream. Put the pot back on the stove and add cream, hint of olive oil, some salt & pepper and some herbs. Sterve well. Serve with some fresh bread, sprinkle some grated cheese on top and enjoy. So good!
