GOLDEN LEEK AND POTATO SOUP



Golden Leek and Potato Soup image

Most potato leek soups are smooth, creamy and decidedly on the richer side. This one doubles the ratio of leeks to potatoes, giving you something sweeter, chunkier and homier, brimming with soft pieces of potato and browned slivers of leeks. A tablespoon or two of heavy cream, drizzled into the soup just before serving, is an optional luscious touch.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 pounds leeks, white and light green part only
2 bay leaves
4 large sprigs fresh thyme
4 large sprigs fresh sage
4 large sprigs parsley, and chopped leaves for garnish
1 large handful celery leaves (optional)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter or extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and very thinly sliced
8 cups vegetable stock or water
1 tablespoon kosher salt, more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, more to taste
1 3/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, halved and thinly sliced
Heavy cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Halve the leeks lengthwise and rinse away any grit. Thinly slice the leeks crosswise. In a small square of cheesecloth, tie together bay leaves, thyme, sage, parsley and celery leaves if using.
  • Melt the butter or heat the oil in the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until leeks are soft and dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the garlic for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
  • Stir in stock or water, the sachet of herbs, the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce immediately to medium-low; simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and simmer soup until potatoes are very tender and falling apart, about 45 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. If desired, drizzle a small amount of cream into each bowl when serving, and top with parsley for garnish.

Provided by Angela Pietrantonio

Categories     Other Soups

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp canola oil
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 can(s) (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 c crumbled cooked bacon
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
1 tsp dried thyme
1 c hot water
2 tsp chicken bouillon granules
1 c heavy whipping cream
1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan, heat butter and oil until butter is melted. Add the potatoes, garlic salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat for 4-6 minutes or until potatoes are tender and lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold Potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice for this soup because they have a creamy texture and hold their shape well.
  • Roast the Potatoes: Roasting the potatoes before adding them to the soup gives them a slightly caramelized flavor that adds depth to the soup.
  • Use a Good Quality Vegetable Broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. If you don't have homemade vegetable broth, look for a store-bought broth that is low in sodium.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will make the soup mushy.
  • Season to Taste: Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.

This golden potato soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
