Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
  • 2 Leeks
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 cup Heavy cream (or plant-based alternative)
  • 4 cups Vegetable broth
  • Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients by washing and peeling the potatoes, then cut them into small cubes. Clean and slice the leeks, ensuring you rinse them to remove any dirt.
  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and a pinch of salt, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they become soft and translucent.
  • Incorporate the cubed potatoes into the pot and stir them with the leeks. Pour in the vegetable broth, increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a traditional blender, allow the soup to cool slightly before blending in batches.
  • Stir in the heavy cream or your chosen alternative and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, reheat gently without boiling.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or fresh herbs for an added touch. Enjoy it warm with crusty bread!
