Recipe notes

“I love simmering this soup at that point in the week when I’m running out of fresh supplies, or at the end of the month when the bank balance is running low!” —Katy Beskow

Tips

If you don’t have any versatile tomato sauce available, add a crushed garlic clove along with the leak, then 1 teaspoon of dried basil or oregano and 400g (14oz) canned chopped tomatoes.
