Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 leeks, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
6 small red potatoes, cubed
½ teaspoon dried dill weed
1 bay leaf
¼ cup half-and-half cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook and stir leeks in hot butter and oil until softened, but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and add chicken broth, potatoes, dill, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk half-and-half with flour in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
  • Mash about half of the potatoes against the side of the pot using a fork for a creamy, chunky soup.
  • Stir flour mixture into the soup. Continue simmering until thickened, about 5 minutes.

This chowder was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

This chowder is delicious and easy to make. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt.
