Charlie Stave :
I tried making potato and leek soup for the first time as I love it. I had no clue wtf I was doing. I had two potatoes, an entire leek, an onion, and some hopes and dreams of the soup. Turns out, I fucked up EVERY. SINGLE. STEP. I didn't have stock, didn't know you had to first cook the leeks so quickly transferred them to a frying pan with some butter, realised hallway through I had no fucking clue how to caramelise onions so that comparison on how to cook the leeks after a Google search didn't help, I didn't know when to add the potatoes, I added em to a pot of boiling water with the leeks, found out later I needed to add stock with the water and needed to slowly bring back up to a boil, stabbed the shit outta the potatoes and leeks till 'the vibe was right' then blended it with those emulsion blender handhold things, realised it had an odd texture so poured in parts through a sieve, realised the bowl was far too small, had to raise the sieve above bowl whilst trying not to drop it as I squished it through with my wooden spoon, added salt, mixed, poured some into a bowl.
That shit was FIRE and I have no clue how 😭 Rock's "throw everything into the pot" WORKED.
