Ingredients
  • The white and pale green part of 4 large leeks, split lengthwise, washed well, and chopped (rinse in a colander after chopping)
  • 4 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water (or more chicken broth)
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
  • Handful of fresh chives, chopped

Directions
  1. 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).
  2. Feel free to experiment with other veggies too, like parsnips, turnips or carrots.

Wow, I'm not a huge soup fanatic but you might be able to change my mind with this one ... sounds really good!


This soup looks wonderful, I love potato and leek. Leeks are good food.


I love potato leek soup! Thanks for posting one without cream.


Wow, I love this soup, and I really love that it is made without the addition of cream - gotta watch those calories some place!! Nice picture - will be making this when Chicagoland cools off again...


BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION! I will try this soon.


Thanks for posting another delicious sounding recipe. Always love to make soup when the weather gets cooler but it is already cool enough here unfortunately.


OMG!!! Bread bowls!!! Thats fantastic ;) I've used them with dips, but never thought about soup! Fantastic!


This soup does look real good, I'm running to the market just to try it.


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.


That's odd Aubreeu, I never get a strong wine flavor when I make it. What kind of wine did you use? I guess you could always cut back on the amount of wine and replace it with either broth, water or cream.


What a lovely recipe! Thank you for sharing it!
