Potato & Leek Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Wash and slice the leeks, making sure to separate the layers to remove any dirt. Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes.

2. 2

   Sauté the Leeks and Garlic

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Potatoes and Broth

   Add the chopped potatoes, thyme, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup and leave the rest as is.

5. 5

   Finish with Cream

   Stir in the heavy cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for another 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives.
