  • Cozy and comforting, Potato Leek Soup combines potatoes, leeks and broth for a simple homemade soup the whole family will love!
  • Ingredients
    1. 4 medium leeks (dark green stems removed)
    2. 1/2 large white onion (chopped)
    3. 2 medium russet potatoes (peeled and cut into cubes)
    4. 1 tablespoon flour (use AP gluten free flour for GF)
    5. 1 tbsp butter
    6. 4 cups chicken stock (use vegetable broth for vegetarians)
    7. 1/2 cup 2% milk
    8. salt and fresh pepper
  • Instructions
    1. Wash leeks very carefully to remove all grit. I usually cut them horizontally and separate the rings to make sure no dirt remains. Coarsely chop them when washed.
    2. In a medium soup pot, melt butter and add flour on low flame.
    3. Using a wooden spoon, mix well. This will thicken your soup and give it a wonderful flavor.
    4. Add chicken stock, leeks, onion, potatoes and bring to a boil.
    5. Cover and simmer on low for about 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are soft.
    6. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth adding the milk and adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
    7. Serve immediately.
