Once the program complete, turn off the Froothie Evolve. Using the lid, press the button to remove steam (careful not to have your hand above it!) Then release the lid, pour and serve.
Traditional Hob Method
In a pan over medium heat, add the oil (and butter if using). Then add the chopped leeks and onions and cook gently for 10 minutes until soft but not coloured.
Crush and add the garlic and cook another minute. Next add the carrots and potatoes and gently saute for another 1-2 minutes.
Next add the water and stock, bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium and allow to gently cook until potatoes are soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If you would like a smooth soup you can blend with a stick blender. Otherwise it can be served as a chunky soup.
