• Once done add chopped potatoes and cook it for about 10 minutes on medium heat by covering the pot.
• After the leeks and potatoes are softened add 3 cups of vegetable stock with 3 cups of water and salt to taste. Now let it cook for about 30 minutes until the potatoes are completely boiled and the soup starts to smell delicious.
