Yield 11 cups, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 leeks, thinly sliced (use only the bottom part and rinse thoroughly to remove any grit)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat; stir in onion and leek. Cover and cook 20 minutes. Stir in potato; cover and cook 15 minutes. Stir in broth, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until potato is tender. Remove from heat, and cool slightly.
  • Process soup in batches in a blender until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides; return to saucepan, and cook over medium heat until thoroughly heated.
  • Serve with some or all of desired toppings.

I made this soup in my slow cooker. It turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner was ready when I got home from work.
