EASY POTATO AND LEEK SOUP

Easy Potato and Leek Soup image

A quick and easy soup that tastes great. I like to take a potato masher and roughly mash some of the potatoes. This helps to thicken the soup. I also like to use seasoned chicken broth. You can use heavy cream or half-and-half, depending on how rich you want the soup to be.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this soup, as they break down and thicken the soup nicely. If you don't have Russet potatoes, you can use Yukon Gold or all-purpose potatoes, but they may not thicken the soup as much.
Don't overcook the leeks: Leeks can become slimy if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
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. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, add a nice touch of flavor and color to the soup.

Conclusion:

This quick and easy potato leek soup is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day. It's creamy, flavorful, and packed with vegetables. Plus, it's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this potato leek soup a try!
