Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb potato, peeled and chopped into 2 inch chunks
1 lb leek, trimmed and all the white part and some of the green sliced into 2 inch slices
1 medium onion, chunked
2 ounces butter
1/2 pint water
3/4 pint vegetable stock (Cube will do) or 3/4 pint chicken stock (Cube will do)
salt and pepper
1 bunch fresh chives or 1 bunch dried chives, would do, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put potatoes, leeks, onion, butter and the half-pint of water in a large microwaveable bowl.
  • Cover and microwave on high for 20 minutes.
  • Have the hot stock ready and add to the cooked vegetables.
  • Cook for a further 5 minutes, then add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Blend till smooth in blender.
  • Enjoy.
  • This recipe is a real work-horse; you can ring the changes using other vegetables, like celery, carrot, etc.
  • Just use them instead of the leeks and you'll have'cream of celery','cream of carrot'whatever.
  • You can make it part-chunky or smooth in the blender.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I would add more broth or water next time.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more salt and pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese, but I really liked it in this soup. It gave it a nice tangy flavor.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and leeks. It's also very affordable and easy to make.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I'm so glad I did! The leeks are very mild and mellow in this soup, and the potatoes and cream cheese give it a rich, creamy texture.

This soup is amazing! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. It's so creamy and flavorful, you would never guess it's dairy-free.
