4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 leeks, cleaned and sliced
4 cups vegetable broth
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Clean, peel, and chop your leeks and potatoes.
Place the cubed potatoes, sliced leeks, minced garlic, and vegetable broth into the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a bay leaf for an extra depth of flavor.
Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
Once cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches your desired creaminess.
Stir in the heavy cream (or your chosen substitute) and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Ladle the warm soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives, if desired.
