Potato & Leek Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small cubes for even cooking. Clean the leeks thoroughly to remove any dirt and slice them thinly.

2. 2

   Sauté the Leeks and Garlic

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the leeks are soft and translucent.

3. 3

   Add Potatoes and Broth

   Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

4. 4

   Blend the Soup

   Once the potatoes are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender.

5. 5

   Season the Soup

   After blending, return the soup to the pot (if using a countertop blender). Stir in salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

6. 6

   Serve the Soup

   Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
