1
Warm the Olive Oil in a heavy casserole and brown the leek well on all sides — real colour means real flavour.

Lift the leek out, soften the onion and garlic in the same pot, then add the urfa pepper flakes.
3
Return the leek, tip in the potato and carrot, and pour over the stock.
4
Cover and let it murmur gently for 35-40 minutes until everything is spoon-tender and the broth has body.
5
Season with salt and cracked pepper, then shower with fresh parsley right before serving.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the urfa pepper flakes in the oil before adding anything wet.
