Golden Leek and Potato Soup image

Number Of Ingredients 12

2.1/2 pounds Leeks, white and light green part only
2 Bay leaves
4 large sprigs fresh thyme
4 large sprigs fresh sage
4 large sprigs fresh parsley, and chopped leaves for garnish
1 large handful celery leaves (optional)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, peeled and very thinly sliced
8 cups vegetable stock
1 tablespoon salt
1 black pepper
1.3/4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, halved and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Halve the leeks lengthwise and rinse away any grit. Thinly slice the leeks crosswise. In a small square of cheesecloth, tie together bay leaves, thyme, sage, parsley and celery leaves if using.
  • Melt the butter or heat the oil in the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are soft and dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
  • Stir in stock or water, the sachet of herbs, the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce immediately to medium-low; simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and simmer soup until potatoes are very tender and falling apart, about 45 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. If desired, drizzle a small amount of cream into each bowl when serving, and top with parsley for garnish.

This soup is a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, but it still wasn't very flavorful.

I'm not a fan of leeks, but I decided to try this soup anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The leeks were very mild and flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more salt.
