How to Make Dilled Leek and Mushroom Soup
- In a large pot, saute the leeks and mushrooms in the unsalted butter over med/hi heat. Stir frequently for 5 - 6 minutes or until the leeks are clear and the mushrooms start to cook well.
- Add the vegetable stock, grated potato, and dill. Bring to a boil over hi heat.
- Reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer, covered for 1 hour.
- Remove lid. Add the cream and diluted cornstarch and heat though just until thickened a bit. Check for salt. Shy away from pepper as it could overwhelm the delicate balance of flavors.
- Serve hot with some crusty bread. Serves 10 as a starter or 6 for a hearty meal.
