     Title: Potage Poireaux-Carottes-Pommes de terre
Categories: Vegetables, Potatoes, Herbs, Chilies
     Yield: 6 servings

     1 tb Oil
     4 md Leeks; rinsed well, chopped
     1 lg Onion; chopped
     2 lg Carrots; peeled, rough
          - chopped in chunks
     2    Ribs celery; rough chopped
     2 lg Baking-size potatoes; peeled
          - chopped in chunks
   1/2 ts Ground cumin
   1/2 ts Ground coriander
   1/2 ts Hot chile powder (Cayenne)
   800 mL Vegetable stock
       pn (Ea) salt & black pepper

 Heat the oil in a large saucepan or casserole pan.

 Fry the chopped raw vegetables gently on a medium heat
 for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.

 Sprinkle over the cumin, coriander and chilli powder and
 stir into the veg, cook gently for another minute.

 Pour in the vegetable stock.

 Bring up to the boil and then simmer for 20 minutes
 until the veg is tender.

 Use a stick blender in the pan to blend the soup or
 transfer to a food processor and blend to a smooth
 consistancy. You may need to add more boiled hot water
 at this point if too thick.

 Taste and season as required with salt and pepper.

 Serve with crusty bread and a twist of black pepper.
