Categories     Potato

Time 8h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 (14 ounce) cans chicken stock
2 medium leeks, rinsed and chopped (white and light green parts)
1 tablespoon dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill
6 slices bacon, cooked, drained, and chopped
2/3 cup half-and-half
1/2-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Place potatoes and leeks in slow cooker. Sprinkle flour over and toss until well-coated. Add the chicken stock and stir, then add the dill and the chopped bacon. Mix well. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
  • In a blender or food processor, puree the soup until creamy (you can puree the whole pot or just some of it if you prefer a chunkier soup). Add salt and pepper to taste (I find a teaspoon or two of salt really helps boost the flavor).
  • Stir in half and half and cheese (if using), then cover and heat an additional 15 minutes.

Provided by Sarah Olson

Categories     Soup

Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large leeks (sliced)
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic (minced)
3 lbs. yukon gold potatoes
7 cups chicken broth
2 bay leaves
3 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 tsp. dried leaf thyme (not ground))
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
fresh chives (chopped (garnish))

Steps:

  • Slice the leeks, discarding the thick green pieces that are at the ends. Add to a large skillet with the butter and garlic and cook over medium-high heat until the leeks are softened.
  • Add to the crock pot along with the potatoes (peeled if you prefer), bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Add the chicken broth and close the lid. Cook on high for 5 hours or low for 8 hours.
  • Once the potatoes have softened enough remove the thyme (if using fresh sprigs) and bay leaves. Use an immersion blender (or food processor or blender) to blend the soup. DO NOT over blend. If you are using a food processer or blender, you will have to blend the soup in small batches.
  • Add the cream, blend again a little, then top with chives for garnish. Serve hot with crusty bread.

Provided by Buckwheat Queen

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Potato Soup Recipes

Time 4h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup vegan butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large leeks, diced
1 yellow onion, minced
1 large carrot, diced
1 cup minced Pleurotus mushrooms (oyster mushrooms)
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup unsweetened oat milk, divided
1 tablespoon potato starch
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Turn on the Saute function on your slow cooker. Heat vegan butter and olive oil. Add leeks, onion, carrot, and mushrooms. Cook and stir until leeks and onions are translucent and softened, carrots have softened, and minced mushrooms have liquefied, about 7 minutes. Add potatoes and vegetable broth; mix well. Mix 1 tablespoon of the oat milk with potato starch to create a slurry and stir it into the soup.
  • Heat remaining oat milk in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until hot, about 30 seconds. Pour it into the soup and season with salt and pepper. Turn off Saute function.
  • Cook in the slow cooker on Low for 6 hours or on High for 3 1/2 hours. Stir soup before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this soup, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. Overcooked potatoes will make the soup gluey.
  • Use good quality leeks: Fresh leeks are essential for this soup. Look for leeks that are firm and have no yellow or brown spots.
  • Sauté the leeks and garlic before adding them to the soup: This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use store-bought broth or make your own.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bit of cream or milk for a richer flavor.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill, will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

This potato leek soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture and flavorful broth, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
