Soup anyone?

For dinner tonight we had Leek, Potato and Bacon soup at the request of my 3 year old.  Normally I make this soup by frying and onion in butter, adding 3 chopped bacon rashers and continue frying, then add 3 leeks and medium potatoes that have been sliced, add 1.5 litres of vegetable stock, bring to the boil and then simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.  I then blend and add about 150ml of cream.

For my new year, shift the pounds version, I omit the butter and cream.  I softened the onions in a little water. 

It went down well with the family and we have some left for lunch tomorrow.  It cost less than €4 for 4 servings.
