Potato Leek Soup Recipe

	Deedeec / All my dishes 1 year, 8 months ago This is a great creamy potato leek soup without the cream (dairy). I love it and make it all the time. I adapted it from my mom's recipe. (Hers is in parenthesis) Not sure if it was one of Grandma's German recipes or not, but potato leek soup is very German.... More Prep:10m Cook:60m Servings:6	Deedeec

Ingredients

2 cups Leeks, sliced

6 Tbs Olive Oil (originally butter, but that's not vegan)

8 cups Vegitable broth (originally chicken, ditto)

4 med Potatoes or 2 lbs, cut in 1/8" slices

1 Onion, grated

4 Tbs fresh Parsley, chopped (moms)

-or-

2 Tbs fresh Dill chopped for a delightful variation (mine)

2 Bay Leaves

salt to taste (originally 2 tsp)

1/2 tsp white pepper

Directions

Clean Leeks well and slice whites and the tender greens.

In heavy soup pot, saute Leeks in oil for about 5 minutes till soft, do not brown.

Add all remaining ingredients. Bring to boil, cover, and reduce to simmer. Simmer for 50 minutes.

Puree soup in blender (carefully as it's hot!) or with an immersion blender.

Serve garnish with a small sprig of parsley or chopped dill.

Crockpot instructions: Saute leeks in oil till soft, deglaze pan with a little broth, add everything but herbs to crockpot. Divide herbs in half, add half now. Reserve the other half to add 1 hour before cooking is done. Cook for at least 6 hours on Low, till potatoes are soft. Puree as above and serve.

I made this soup recerntly...since I'm not a vegan, I used bacon drippings...but even so, this soup was really delicious! Not real thick or gummy. Thanks....5 forks!

Oh yum! That does sound like a wonderful adaptation. I'm not a vegitarian anymore, but I still use a lot of the recipes I got during that period of my life.

I may seem like such a ditso but what exactly is a leek?? My mom used to make recipes with them when I was younger, but since then, I've kinda forgotten. :(
