Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 leeks, thinly sliced (use only the bottom part and rinse thoroughly to remove any grit)

I'm not a huge fan of potato leek soup, but this recipe was really good. The soup was creamy and flavorful, and the leeks added a nice touch. I'll definitely be making this again.
