2 cups salt reduced stock or water
2 bunches watercress, trimmed, washed,
1️⃣Heat oil in medium pot. Add leek. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in garlic and ginger. Cook stirring for a further minute until fragrant.
2️⃣ Add potatoes and stock. Bring to the boil , cover with lid and simmer for 25 minutes or until potato has softened.
3️⃣ Chop bunches of watercress into thirds. Add to pot and stir. Cove and cook for. Further 5-8 minutes or until watercress stalks have softened.
4️⃣ Allow mixture to cool slightly before pureeing it with a stick mixture or blender.
