Time 15m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 pounds potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped in a food processor
2 leeks ( 1/2 pound each) dark green end discarded, cleaned and coarsely chopped in the food processor
2 1/4 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup part skim-milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, optional

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes and leeks in a 2-quart souffle dish and add 1 1/2 cups of the broth. Cover tightly with microwave plastic. Cook in a 650- to 700-watt oven at 100 percent power for 10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes and leeks are cooking, combine the ricotta and 1/4 cup of the broth in the food processor. Process until very smooth.
  • Remove potato and leek mixture from oven. Prick the plastic to release steam and uncover. Add to the food processor with the remaining broth and process until very smooth. Remove to a serving bowl. Stir in the buttermilk and salt and chill for 3 hours or overnight. Serve with a sprinkling of chives on top, if desired.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some extra milk to thin it out, and it was much better.

This recipe was easy to follow and the soup turned out great! I used low-fat milk and it was still very creamy. I also added a bit of garlic powder for extra flavor.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it helped a bit, but it still wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked.

I'm not a huge fan of leek soup, but this recipe changed my mind. It was creamy and flavorful, and the addition of chives and parsley really brightened it up. I'll definitely be making this again.
