- Heat the olive oil in a casserole over medium heat, and cook and stir the carrots, celery, potatoes and leeks until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley and chives.
- Puree the soup using a hand blender, or in batches in a food processor. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with more herbs to serve.
Tip
If you use a food processor to puree the soup, work in small batches. Hot soup can splash out and cause burns.
