Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon butter
3 leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
5 pounds potato, peeled and thinly sliced
2 quarts chicken broth
3 cups frozen peas
1 pinch dried tarragon
3 cups milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir leeks in the melted butter until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir potatoes and chicken broth into the leeks and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Stir peas and tarragon into the soup; simmer until peas are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than half full.
  • Hold down the lid of the blender with a towel and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup in the pot.
  • Pour milk into the pureed soup and bring to a simmer over medium heat until heated through. Season with salt and black pepper.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland, and the texture was a bit too thick. I probably won't be making this soup again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup was too thick. I think I'll try adding more liquid next time.

This soup was delicious! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still very flavorful. I also added a bit of chopped kale, and it was a great addition. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I think I'll try making it again with less salt next time.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland, even after adding extra salt and pepper. I also thought the texture was a bit too thick. I probably won't be making this soup again.

I've made this soup several times now, and it's always a winner. It's so easy to make, and it's always delicious. I love that I can use frozen peas and leeks, so it's a great recipe to have on hand for busy weeknights.
