Ingredients

20g butter

4 leeks, washed and roughly chopped

2tsp dried tarragon

2 potatoes, peeled and chopped

2 reduced-salt vegetable stock cubes

50g watercress

4 slices baguette

½tsp Dijon mustard

100g Asda Camembert

Method

1
Melt butter in a large pan over a medium heat. Add leeks and dried tarragon. Cover and cook for 10 mins until softened.
2
Add potatoes, reduced-salt vegetable stock cubes and 900ml boiling water. Bring to the boil, cover with the lid, then simmer for 45 mins until the potato is cooked.
3
Add watercress to the soup, simmer for 3 mins, then blend until smooth.

Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high. Toast slices baguette until crisp and golden. Spread each slice with Dijon mustard. Slice Camembert into 4 and put a piece on top of each baguette slice. Grill until the cheese is bubbling.
5
Divide the soup between 4 bowls and top each one with a cheesy crouton. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to serve.
