Hearty, warming, and absolutely delicious potato leek soup recipe! Add cornstarch to thicken the soup if it is too thin. Serve with buttered bread.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 large leeks, chopped
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
- 1 bouquet garni
- 1 cube vegetable bouillon
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add stock, potatoes, leeks, parsley, bouquet garni, bouillon cube, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Remove soup from the heat; discard bouquet garni. Pur?e soup with an immersion blender until smooth.
Tips
Since you are pur?eing the soup, you can very roughly chop the leeks, onions, and potatoes. Don't waste your time getting them to be uniform in size!
