Instructions
1. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the diced potato, leek and onion. Cook for 5-10 minutes on a low heat to ensure they don't burn.

4. Cut each slice of bread into four fingers and toast under a grill on low heat, turning once. When toasted, slice the garlic clove in half and rub the cut side over the bread.
5. Transfer the soup to a flask so it is ready to serve when needed, along with the bread.
