My mom used to make a potato leek soup alot while I was groing up and it was my favorite! I asked my mom for the recipe but she could not find it so I went on line and looked at a ton of defferent recipes and I took all the parts that sounded good to me and put them into one. And now this is mine and my moms new favorite. It is...

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb fresh leeks (about three mediume sized)
1/2 c onion
1/2 c butter
5-6 larg yukon gold potatoes
1 qt chicken broth or other broth of your choice
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 c buttermilk
1/2 c heavy cream
1/4 c sour cream + some for top if wanted
1/4 c fresh chives for top

Steps:

  • 2. In a medium/larg saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks,onion and a pinch of salt and sweat for 5 minutes. Add half of the broth and cook until the leeks are tender, approximately 15/20 minutes, stirring occasionally
  • 3. Let leeks cool for a few minutes and transfer to blender, blend till desired smoothness (I like mine really smooth) Return to saucepan and add remaining broth and potatoes, cook till potatoes are very soft and broth/liquid thikens a little from the potatoes.
  • 4. Just before serving add buttermilk, heavy cream, white pepper, and sour cream stir till well combined, leave on low heat just long enough to bring the temperature back up a little.
