Broth

Cooked in the broth of your choice. I used water with mushroom powder, but you can use the special Medical Medium healing broth or chicken stock. Add mustard seeds, juniper berries, cloves and bay leaves to the stock. And after the soup is ready you can top with nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper. Those smells! Also add some parsley and chives in top.

Quick and easy soup

The potatoes need to cook for 20 minutes. After 10 minutes of cooking you can add the leek. Then puree everything smooth with an immersions blender. Not to much: its nice to leave some partial pieces of potato and leek.
