Chunky Potato Leek Soup image

My family and I crave a steaming bowl of potato leek soup on a cold winter evening, but we don't want the butter and fat content of regular soup recipes. So I created this lighter version. I have shared it with many folks, and everyone who has tried it loves it for the robust, satisfying flavor. -Christine Frye, Odessa, Missouri

This soup is amazing! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The potatoes and leeks are so creamy and the broth is so flavorful. I love to add a bit of crusty bread to dip in it.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but this soup was still really good. The potatoes and leeks were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful. I would definitely recommend this soup to others.
