Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ teaspoon unsalted butter
1 large white onion, diced
2 ribs celery, chopped
3 small leeks, cleaned and thinly sliced
3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 cups water, or more as needed
3 cups 2% low-fat milk
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Add celery and cook for 2 more minutes. Add leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until limp, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add potatoes and 3 cups water. Cook until potatoes are slightly soft, adding just enough water to keep potatoes and leeks covered, 20 to 25 minutes. Slowly add milk while stirring continuously. Add salt and pepper and cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of potato leek soup, but this recipe was actually pretty good. I would definitely make it again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and leeks. It's also a very affordable meal.

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

The soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I would add more liquid next time.

This was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning.

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.

Just made this soup and it turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful. Will definitely make again.

This low-fat potato and leek soup was a delightful surprise! It's creamy, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. I added a bit of extra garlic and thyme, and it was perfect. Definitely a keeper!
