Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 3 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil and butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add potatoes, leeks, and celery; cook and stir until leeks are tender, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Stir in broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer 4 cups soup into a blender. Remove the top insert of the blender and cover with a paper towel; puree until smooth. Add puree back to the Dutch oven.
Step 4
Stir in heavy cream and cook over medium-low until slightly thickened, 10 to 15 more minutes. Ladle into bowls and garnish with crumbled bacon.
