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.
