Cozy and comforting, Potato Leek Soup combines potatoes, leeks and broth for a simple homemade soup the whole family will love!
INGREDIENTS
4 medium leeks, dark green stems removed
1/2 large white onion, chopped
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
1 tablespoon flour, use AP gluten free flour for GF
1 tbsp butter
4 cups chicken stock, use vegetable broth for vegetarians
1/2 cup 2% milk
salt and fresh pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Wash leeks very carefully to remove all grit. I usually cut them horizontally and separate the rings to make sure no dirt remains. Coarsely chop them when washed.
In a medium soup pot, melt butter and add flour on low flame.
Using a wooden spoon, mix well. This will thicken your soup and give it a wonderful flavor.
Add chicken stock, leeks, onion, potatoes and bring to a boil.
Cover and simmer on low for about 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are soft.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth adding the milk and adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately.
