LEEK AND RED POTATO SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Potato

Yield 8 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 7

3-4 large leeks
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 quarts chicken stock
6 large or 12-14 small red-skinned new potatoes, unpeeled cut into chunks
Sea salt to taste
Garlic croutons, for garnish

Steps:

  • Wash and slice leeks, and saute in a stockpot with celery in 2 Tbsp olive oil until limp but not brown. Add remaining ingredients except dill, pepper, and croutons, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low-medium and cook until potatoes are tender. Reserve 4 cups and puree the rest of the potful with an immersion blender, or in a food processor and return to stockpot. Add back the reserved soup and season generously with dill and black pepper, and salt if you really need it. Add more stock or water if the soup is too thick. Serve hot with garlic croutons. If you're going to serve this cold, remember that you will need a bit of extra seasoning and salt.

Overall, I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I found this recipe to be a bit too salty for my taste. I also thought the soup was a bit too thick. I would suggest using less salt and adding a bit more broth to thin it out.

This soup was a disappointment. The flavors were bland and the texture was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I won't be making this soup again.

I love this soup! It's so creamy and flavorful. I've made it several times and it's always a hit. I usually add a bit of chopped bacon or sausage to give it a heartier flavor. I also like to serve it with a side of crusty bread.
