yield 6 serving(s)

Ingredients

  • 3 - leeks sliced and cleaned (white and tender green parts)
  • 3 cups peeled potatoes(depends on size so amount will vary for you...you be the judge how much potatoes you want in soup)
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup minced chives or parsley(can be spiced already or fresh)

How To Make cream of leek and potato soup

  • Step 1
    In a large heavy saucepan, bring the leeks, potatoes, water, and salt to the boil over high heat.
  • Step 2
    Cover partially, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Step 3
    Correct the seasoning, to taste, and puree with a handheld immersion blender, or in batches in a food processor.(I personally like to use a laddle and scoop up soup, putting in a food processor then making it into pureé).
  • Step 4
    Whisk in the cream and reheat before serving. Top each serving with a sprinkling of fresh chives and/or parsley.
