Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup butter
3 leeks (white and pale green parts only), sliced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 quart chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
5 ½ cups peeled and diced potatoes, or more to taste
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir leeks, garlic, salt, and pepper in the hot butter until leeks are tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
