Potato Leek Soup

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter
1 lb new potatoes quartered
6 cups of chicken stock/broth
1 head of broccoli or handful of asparagus cut into big chunks
Thyme, red chili flakes, salt and pepper to taste



Saute leeks and butter for about 8 minutes or until soft. Season with thyme, salt, pepper and chili flakes to taste. Add chicken stock and potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook for 12 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Add green veggie (if not using green veggie use more potatoes) and cook for another minute or so.
