Leek and hazelnut soup

I like the delicacy of leek in soup and matched with nuts you can’t go wrong. Just remember that a soup without salt is like autumn without an apple. Always taste the soup three times before adding more salt, as it gives you a good indication of how the salt level will be when you sit down and eat a whole bowl. If you make lots of homemade stock at a time, it’s so much easier to whip up soup or risotto at short notice.
