  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
– 2 leeks, cleaned and sliced
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 4 cups vegetable broth
– 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option)
– 3 tablespoons butter (or olive oil for a vegan option)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh chives or parsley for garnish


Instructions

Creating Creamy Potato & Leek Soup is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Leeks: Begin by cleaning the leeks thoroughly. Slice them thinly and set aside.
2. Sauté the Onion and Leeks: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced leeks. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
3. Add the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and leeks.
4. Pour in the Broth: Add the vegetable broth, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
6. Blend the Soup: Once the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer it to a blender in batches.
7. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream or coconut cream, mixing until well combined. Allow it to heat through for an additional 5 minutes.
8. Season: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavors.
9. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley for added color and flavor.
