GOLDEN LEEK AND POTATO SOUP
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.

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.

POTATO LEEK SOUP WITH SPICY SAUSAGE & CHEESE
This is my favorite variation of potato leek soup. It's a bit elaborate, especially with the garnishes, but can easily be toned down. The steps to make the potato croutons to garnish are at the end. Also note that if you let potato-leek soup stand, it will thicken considerably. When you reheat it, just thin it out with milk.

Steps:
- Cube the potatoes, and finely chop the leeks and celery. Mince the garlic. Cut the sausage into small pieces.
- Melt 2 TBSP of the butter in your soup pot on low heat. First, add the garlic, cooking until fragrant.
- Add the meat, cooking, but not browning. Then add the rest of the butter.
- Add the vegetables and cook on low for about 10 minutes while stirring frequently. The butter should be absorbed, but the vegetables should not brown.
- Add about three quarters of the stock (until the stock level just covers the vegetables), and simmer until everything is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- In a blender in a few batches, flash-puree the soup (you may need to use a second pot to pour the pureed soup into), and return it all to the pot. Add more stock to adjust the consistency if you need to.
- Add the cream and small handful of mild cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Then gradually add a few dashes of coriander until it tastes right.
- To make the potato croutons for garnishing, use 1 or 2 potatoes, cut to small cubes, seasoned with lots of paprika and some cayenne pepper and salt, and fry in a generous amount of vegetable oil until crisp.
- Serve in shallow soup bowls. Put the shredded or chunks of sharp cheese on top, along with a large spoonful of the parsley-scallion mix and the potato croutons. Stir up and enjoy!

Here's a warming, economical soup that combines cabbage with leeks, potatoes and plenty of black pepper. The potatoes melt slightly into the broth, making the texture silky, lush and even a bit sexy (at least as far as cabbage goes).

Steps:

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your soup taste better. Look for leeks that are firm and green, potatoes that are starchy and waxy, and sausage that is well-seasoned.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too many ingredients to the pot, the soup will be watery and bland. Add the ingredients in batches, and cook them until they are tender before adding the next batch.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of acid, such as lemon juice or white wine, to brighten the flavors.
- Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup allows the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped chives, or a crusty bread roll.
Conclusion:
This leek, potato, and sausage soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
