Cod and leek broth - hailing from the Basque Country, sliced carrots are an optional addition. They provide a little sweetness and colour and would be added at the same time as the potatoes.

2 leeks trimmed and sliced
2 medium-sized potatoes peeled and sliced or cut into chunks
1 medium-sized white onion finely chopped
1 litre of fish or vegetable stock
1 tablespoon of olive oil

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or a stockpot and cook the onion until it is translucent, about ten minutes.
