Leek And Red Potato Soup Recipe


Leek And Red Potato Soup Recipe
You can enrich this soup with a bit of cream at the end, but you really don't need it.

Ingredients
  • 3-4 large leeks
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 2 quarts chicken stock (homemade or unsalted canned)
  • 6 large or 12-14 small red-skinned new potatoes, unpeeled, cut into chunks
  • Enough water to just cover (if needed)
  • Dill weed and black pepper to taste
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Garlic croutons, for garnish

Directions
  1. Wash and slice leeks, and saute in a stockpot with celery in 2 Tbsp olive oil until limp but not brown. Add remaining ingredients except dill, pepper and croutons, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low-medium and cook until potatoes are tender. Puree entire potful with an immersion blender, or in a food processor (in batches, if necessary) and return to stockpot. Season generously with dill and black pepper, and salt if you really need it. Add more stock or water if the soup is too thick. Serve hot with garlic croutons. If you're going to serve this cold, remember that you will need a bit of extra seasoning and salt.

Taters and leeks can't get much better>>>>>>> thanks.


Sounds wonderful - I love leek soup. Thanks for the post!


I used Mountain King "butter reds" and it is some of the best soup I've ever made. I did enrich it with half and half. So creamy.


I'm making it right now and it smells absolutely wonderful! Here's to a great dinner!

Seasoning with a bit of garlic salt instead of sea salt gives it an amazing kick.
