Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ tablespoon salted butter
6 leeks, trimmed and chopped
3 cups chicken stock
4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir leeks in the melted butter until softened, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in chicken stock and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Pour about half of the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Pour the pureed soup back into the pot.
  • Stir in heavy cream and season with sea salt and black pepper.

I was skeptical about using parsnips in a potato leek soup, but I'm so glad I did. They added a wonderful sweetness and depth of flavor.
