Potato And Leek Soup Recipe House Of Nash Eats
Ingredients:
– 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
– 3 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced
– 4 cups vegetable broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon thyme
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced leeks and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
4. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.
6. Ladle the Potato and Leek Soup into bowls and garnish each serving with chopped chives for a fresh and aromatic touch.
