CROCK POT POTATO AND LEEK SOUP (VICHYSSOISE)
I got the original recipe for this from Cooks.com. I love potato and leek soup and didn't want to spend the time watching this or heating up the kitchen so doing it in my crock pot was perfect. When this was finished cooking I pureed the soup. You don't have to do this if you don't want to, but this is the way I like it.

Tips for Making Perfect Potato Leek Soup:
- Choose the best potatoes: For a creamy texture, use starchy potatoes such as Russet or Yukon Gold. For a firmer texture, use waxy potatoes such as Red or New Potatoes.
- Don't overcook the leeks: Leeks should be cooked until softened but still retain a slight crunch. Overcooked leeks will become mushy.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so use a high-quality broth that you enjoy the taste of. Chicken, vegetable, or beef broth are all good options.
- Add herbs and spices to taste: Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the soup. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or cheese: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill. You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese.
Conclusion:
Potato leek soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it creamy or chunky, with or without cheese, this soup is sure to satisfy. So next time you are looking for a hearty and flavorful soup, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
