Yield Makes about 5 cups, serving 4 as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds leeks (white and pale green parts only; about 2 bunches)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup vermouth
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
Garnish: 4 teaspoons finely sliced fresh chives
Accompaniment: Raclette Cheese Toasts

Steps:

  • Halve leeks lengthwise and thinly slice crosswise. In a large bowl of cold water wash leeks well and lift from water into a large sieve to drain. In a 6-quart heavy kettle cook leeks in butter over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until some begin to turn golden, about 40 minutes. Stir in sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Stir in vermouth and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is evaporated and most leeks are golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Deglaze kettle with 1/2 cup broth and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes more, until liquid is evaporated and leeks are deep golden. Add remaining 3 cups broth and bring soup just to a boil. Season soup with salt and pepper.
  • Serve soup, garnished with chives, with cheese toasts.

This soup was okay, but I've had better. I think it needed more vegetables.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup was a disaster! The leeks were not caramelized properly and the soup was too thin.

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

This soup was delicious! The leeks were perfectly caramelized and the soup was creamy and flavorful. I added a bit of extra garlic and thyme, and it was perfect. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was amazing! I loved the combination of leeks, potatoes, and cream. The white wine added a nice touch of flavor as well. I will definitely be making this soup again.
