Creamy Leek, Potato & Pea Soup

A velvety, classic European soup made with gently sautéed leeks, tender potatoes, and sweet peas, finished with a touch of butter. Thick enough for baby to scoop or dip bread into, this comforting lunch is packed with vitamins and fibre.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium Leek
  • 1 medium Potato
  • 80 grams Frozen Peas
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 300 ml Water
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced leek and cook gently for 5–6 minutes until very soft but not browned.
  2. Add the diced potato and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 12–15 minutes until the potato is very tender.
  3. Add the peas and cook for a further 3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat. Blend until smooth using a stick blender, or mash with a fork for a chunkier texture suitable for older babies.
  5. Stir in the olive oil for extra healthy fats.
  6. Cool to a safe temperature. Serve in a bowl with soft bread fingers for dipping, or with a pre-loaded spoon.
