This classic creamy soup is easy to make and has a hint of fresh lemon juice for some brightness.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 leeks (white part only), thinly sliced
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 bay leaf
3 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more leaves for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Olive oil for drizzling
Frizzled leeks or shallot, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large wide pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, leeks and onion and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and not browned, about 12 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high, pour in the wine and continue to cook, uncovered, until almost dry, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes, bay leaf, thyme, 7 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, covered, until the potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
  • Remove and discard the thyme and bay leaf. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and carefully puree until smooth, taking care not to fill the carafe more than half full per batch, or puree with an immersion blender in the pot. Reheat the soup over medium heat until steaming.
  • Whisk in the cream and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, a drizzle of oil and a frizzled leeks or shallot if using.

LEEK AND POTATO SOUP



Leek and Potato Soup image

This soup is related to brotchán foltchep, a classic leek and oatmeal soup (also known as brotchán roy) that combines leeks, oatmeal and milk. This version is thickened with potatoes instead of oatmeal and flavored with chicken stock instead of milk. Serve it with savory whole wheat scones or slices of brown soda bread.

BROTCHAN FOLTCHEP - POTATO & LEEK SOUP



Brotchan Foltchep - Potato & Leek Soup image

This traditional soup used to be made with leak and oatmeal and has been served in Ireland for generations. Most cooks now prefer to combine leeks with potatoes, however, to make this perennial favorite. This recipe is also called Brotchan Roy meaning "A broth fit for a king". The word "roy" is derived from Ri - the Irish word for King. Savory hot biscuits are a fine accompaniment for soup. Add the herb seasoning of your choice to your biscuit mix before adding the liquid.

DAIRY FREE POTATO LEEK SOUP



Dairy Free Potato Leek Soup image

I love leeks, and leek soup, and wanted to introduce my Significant Other to the dish. But he is definitely a meat and potatoes sort of guy, so I compiled this version of the dish for him. Remove the bacon and use veggie oil for a great vegetarian meal. Also tastes great with a dollop of soy sour cream substitute. It's dairy free for my milk allergy, but I'm sure regular milk products work just fine.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups diced potatoes (Yukon gold, Sweet white, or Red New Potatoes work best)

6 cups vegetable broth
1 cup soy cream
1 (12 ounce) package bacon
1 tablespoon garlic powder
salt, and
white pepper (to taste)

  • Chop the bacon into 1/2 inch chunks and cook in a large pan.

  • Sauté the leeks in the bacon grease until the darkest slices yield slightly to a spoon or spatula.
  • Cover and allow to steam for 2-3 minutes until the dark slices cut easily with the edge of your stirring utensil.
  • Add the cooked leeks to your potatoes.
