2 – 4 people

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tablespoons Cobram Estate Classic EVOO, plus extra to serve
• 2 leeks, white parts only, washed, chopped
• 6 cloves garlic, peeled
• 400g washed potatoes, chopped
• 700g (about 2 heads broccoli, trimmed, chopped
• 1 litre Massel reduced salt chicken stock
• 2 cups baby spinach leaves
• ¾ cup Coles Greek yoghurt to serve
• 2 tablespoons chives, finely sliced

CHEESY TOAST:

• 80g grated Coles English cheddar cheese
• 80g Coles nutty firm cheese
• 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 egg, beaten
• 4 thick slices rye bread

METHOD:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add leek, garlic and a pinch of sea salt and stir for 4-5 minutes. Add potatoes, broccoli and stock. Bring up to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Add in the spinach and cook until wilted. Blitz the soup with a stick blender until smooth.
• Meanwhile for the cheesy toasts, pre heat the oven to 220 degrees C. Mix together the cheese, sauces and egg in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture onto the bread and bake on a lined oven tray for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and bubbling. Cut into thick fingers.
• Place the soup into serving bowls and dollop over the Greek yoghurt, olive oil, chives and serve with hot cheesy toast on the side for dipping.
