Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ teaspoon unsalted butter
1 large white onion, diced
2 ribs celery, chopped
3 small leeks, cleaned and thinly sliced
3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 cups water, or more as needed
3 cups 2% low-fat milk
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Add celery and cook for 2 more minutes. Add leeks and cook, stirring frequently, until limp, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add potatoes and 3 cups water. Cook until potatoes are slightly soft, adding just enough water to keep potatoes and leeks covered, 20 to 25 minutes. Slowly add milk while stirring continuously. Add salt and pepper and cook until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed this soup. The leeks add a subtle flavor that really complements the potatoes.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the pot and let it cook on low for 8 hours.
