    Instructions

    1 In a large pot, heat spread and oil over medium-low heat. Add vegies, cover and cook for 8-10 minutes until leeks have softened but not browned. Stir occasionally and reduce heat or add a splash of stock
    if necessary to prevent browning.

    2 Stir in stock and 1 cup water, and increase heat to bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, until vegies are cooked. Allow to cool a little.

    3 Once cooled, transfer mixture to a blender and blitz until smooth.

    4 Return mixture to the pot and add half the milk. Stir through and bring back to a simmer. Add the rest of the milk to reach your preferred consistency – soup should be fairly thin and smooth.

    5 Divide soup among four bowls. Add a swirl of yoghurt to garnish, if using, and sprinkle over chives. Serve with wholegrain bread or toast.
