Directions

30 min.
1. Step

Slice the leeks lengthwise, then chop them into thin half moons. Rinse them thoroughly.

2. Step

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they turn translucent and fragrant.

3. Step

Add leeks and potatoes to the pot and continue cooking until they become soft.

4. Step

Add broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

5. Step

Using an immersion blender or in batches in a countertop blender, blend until smooth and creamy. If using a countertop blender, remember to let the steam escape by removing the center cap and covering the opening with a kitchen towel.

6. Step

Return the soup to the pot and stir in heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Step

Heat the soup on low heat for a few more minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.

8. Step

Serve the leek and potato soup hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
