- 2 large leeks, sliced roughly (white and pale green parts, about 0.8 lb )
- Generous pinch of salt
- 1.3 lb white potatoes, peeled and diced
- into large cubes
- 3 large handfuls of kale leaves (about 3.5 oz. )
- 3 cloves garlic, diced roughly
- 1 teaspoon Dijon or yellow mustard
- Zest of 1 lemon (reserve half for garnish)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1.5 Litre vegetable stock (or water + 3 vegetable stock cubes)
- To finish
- 2.8 oz. cheddar cheese, grated
- Juice of 1/2 lemon + the rest of the lemon zest (see above)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- To serve
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Extra black pepper
Directions
- Press the Sauté key on the Instant Pot (it should say Normal, 30 mins). Add the
-
butter and let it melt while you finish preparing the rest of the ingredients.
-
Add the leeks and stir through with the butter. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring a few
-
times.
-
Add the potatoes, kale and garlic and stir through, then add the rest of the ingredi
-
ents except for the cheese. Stir to combine and press the Keep Warm/Cancel button.
-
Place and lock the lid, make sure the steam-releasing handle is pointing to Sealing.
-
Press Manual, High Pressure, and set the timer to 12 minutes. After 3 beeps the
-
pressure cooker will start going.
-
Once the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes and
-
then use the quick release method before opening the lid.
-
Add the cheese and stir to melt through. Add extra lemon juice and the rest of the
-
lemon zest. Process the soup into puree. Option 1: Use an immersion stick blender
-
directly in the pot. Option 2: Transfer the soup, together with the vegetables, to a
-
blender or a food processor in 2-3 batches. Make sure to only fill up the blender
-
half way, maybe three quarters, as the mixture will expand and move up the sides
-
while blending. You will save yourself the mess!
-
Once smooth, stir in the parsley. Serve the soup in bowls sprinkled with extra parsley and black pepper.
