A bog-standard Leek and potato soup recipe improved and turned it into something special with the addition of Vodka. To turn this into a main course soup, add 2 cups of cooked chicken meat at the same stage as the vodka and stir gently. The alcohol cooks well out, but the vodka gives this dish an interesting sweetness.
