Chipotle Leek and Potato Soup image

A spicy version of this classic soup. The smokiness of the adobo sauce and the bite of the chile balance the savory flavors of the potato and cream. Cumin and white pepper finish off this cozy soup. Best enjoyed next to a fire with a glass of red wine. Serve piping hot topped with sour cream and croutons or cheese and onion rings!

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup butter
2 large leeks, white and light green parts, chopped, or more to taste
salt to taste
1 red bell pepper, diced

4 cups vegetable broth
3 Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
