Buttery, creamy, and made oh-so fragrant with the help of thyme and chives, this potato leek soup is the perfect companion to any cold weather dinner. Serve with a bit of hot sauce for an extra kick and a sprinkling of croutons for added crunch.

Steps:
- Melt butter on medium heat in a large pot. Add the chopped leeks and stir until coated with butter.
- Cover the pot and lower heat, cook for around 10 minutes until the leeks have softened.
- Increase to medium-high. Add garlic, potatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, then add vegetable broth, water, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
- Lower heat and cover pot with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and easily speared by a fork.
- Uncover and remove thyme and bay leaf.
- Use an immersion or countertop blender to blend the soup until smooth.
- Stir in chives and hot sauce (optional).
- Allow to cool 2 minutes and serve.
- Enjoy!
