Preparation

Dice the carrot, leek and celery into small, even pieces, for even cooking.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat, then sweat the vegetables for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, without letting them colour, they should just turn translucent.
Add the diced potato, cover with stock, season with salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, until all the vegetables are very tender.
Taste, adjust the seasoning and serve piping hot, chunky for a rustic soup, or blitzed for a few seconds with an immersion blender if you prefer it smoother.
