An awesome soup that is easy and healthy. You won't miss the cream! Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. You might want to double the recipe and freeze what's left! I go to Panera Bread and get sourdough loaves to use as bread bowls.
Ingredients
- The white and pale green part of 4 large leeks, split lengthwise, washed well, and chopped (rinse in a colander after chopping) shopping list
- 4 cloves of garlic, crushed shopping list
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter shopping list
- 2 cups chicken broth shopping list
- 2 cups water (or more chicken broth) shopping list
- 1 cup white wine shopping list
- 2 pounds yukon gold potatoes shopping list
- 4 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves shopping list
- Handful of fresh chives, chopped shopping list
How to make it
- In a large heavy saucepan cook the leeks and garlic in the butter with salt and pepper to taste, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are softened but not browned. Add the water, the broth, the wine, and the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice, and simmer the mixture, covered, for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. In a blender, puree 3-4 cups of the soup, stir the puree into the remaining soup with the parsley, and season the soup with salt and pepper. Pour into bowls and garnish with the chives. Serve with hunks of crusty bread or in a bread bowl (see picture).
- Feel free to experiment with other veggies too, like parsnips, turnips or carrots.

Thanks Darbar. I followed your recipe strictly and it came out delicious. I made the bread bowls too and it really gave nice touch to the servings. My family gave me five stars. So I give it to you too. It is easy to make, delicious and appropriate f...more

I liked the idea of a Leek and Potato soup made without cream, but was disappointed with how strong the wine flavor was in this recipe. It was still a good soup, just not what I was expecting.
