4 cups low-sodium low fat/ fat free chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups water

coconut oil sprai
salt
2 large russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 sprig thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • 1. (this part is optional but adds a nice leek flavor to the broth) Bring leek greens, broth and water to a oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 min. pour the broth thru a fine mesh strainer into a med. bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible, and set aside. Discard the solids in the strainer and rinse saucepan. 2. Combine the light and white green leek parts, onion, 1/8 tsp salt in saucepan with coconut oil spray. Cover and cook over med-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, 8-10 min. (be careful not to overcook as this can overcook the onions/leeks and the soup will not be light 'potato' color tho will taste great) 3. Uncover, increase heat to high, stir in the reserved broth, potato, thyme sprig and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until potato is tender about 15 min. 4. Remove thyme sprig and bay leaf. In 2 batches process the soup in a blender until completely smooth 2 min. Return to saucepan, heat to a simmer. Season w salt and pepper.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have potatoes on hand, so this is a great recipe to have in my back pocket.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I decided to give this soup a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. The leeks were very mild and the soup was very creamy and flavorful.

I found this soup to be a bit too thick. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a little thinner.

This soup was a little too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more herbs and spices.
