  You're right Lulubee. I'm just going to use one potato and see if that works.

  The original recipe in Olive states you add a crushed garlic clove to the onion before softening. Aso states when adding stock you add one cubed potato (no size or weight given).

  I prefer this version which omits the mint (which can be added if you wish) and toasts the goats cheese on the crostini. I used a medium potato which I had in store. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/4482/images/4482_MEDIUM.jpg
