Potato Leek Soup
A French classic, this creamy potato leek soup is quick, easy, and delicious
Servings: 6
Prep Time: 25 Minutes
Cook Time: 40 Minutes
Total Time: 1 Hour 5 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large leeks, white and light green parts only, roughly chopped (about 5 cups)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
7 cups l'ow sodium chicken or vegetable broth
2 bay lea ves
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 eup heavy cream
Chives, finely chopped, for serving
INSTRLCTIONS
Melt the butter over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the leeks and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until soft and wilted,
about 10 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary so as not to brown.
Adid the potatoes, broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper to pot and bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Simmer
fur 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft.
Fish out the thyme sprig and bay leaves, then pure the soup with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, use a
standard blender to pure the soup in batches; see note.) Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning
with salt and pepper. If soup is too thin, simmer until thickened. If it's too thick, add water or stock to thin it out. Garnish with fresh
herbs if desired.
Note: If using a standard blender to pure the soup: be sure not to fill the jar more than halfway; leave the hole in the lid open and
cover loosely with a dishtowel to allow the heat to escape; and pour blended soup into a clean pot.
Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen, without the cream, for up to 3 months. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator
for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. Once heated through, add the cream and bring to a
simmer before serving.
