Leek Mushroom Potato Soup Recipe

Leek Mushroom Potato Soup

From hikergirl 15 years ago

This is a warm, inexpensive fall/winter soup. It is cheaper than a Leek, mushroom soup because potatoes are cheaper.

1 1/2 pounds (about 2 cups cubed cooked) potatoes. I used fingerling; yukon gold, red, or yellow would be good, probably not starchy baker. shopping list
about 2 teaspoons olive oil shopping list
salt, pepper shopping list
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil shopping list
1 tablespoon unsalted butter shopping list
4 cups cleaned, chopped leeks (you have to clean these VERY well) shopping list
2 large cloves garlic, minced shopping list
1 1 /2 cups cleaned, sliced crimini mushrooms shopping list
1 cup dry white wine (I used pinot noir blanc; sauvinguan blanc or chardonnay would be nice) shopping list
7 cups low sodium chicken broth (or a mix of chicken stock and broth; or for vegetarian, use all vegetable broth) shopping list
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves shopping list

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Clean potatoes and drizzle with 2 tsp. olive oil, salt and pepper
Roast potatoes, whole, for about 40 or 45 min. Just short of tender (they will cook a little more in soup)
Meanwhile, prep leeks by slicing and placing in a cool water-filled sink to get rid of sand
Chop garlic
Clean and slice mushrooms
When potatoes are done, let cool until you can peel them, then cube them
Heat dutch oven on medium heat with 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter while potatoes are cooling
Saute leeks for about 8 or 9 min. until tender. Salt and pepper
Add garlic and saute until translucent
Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 6 or 7 min.
Add wine and deglaze pan; Reduce to half
Add chicken stock, salt and pepper (to taste), simmer for 10 min. or so
Add pealed, cubed potatoes and fresh thyme, simmer for about 5 min.
Serve with rustic, crusty bread
