LOW FAT POTATO LEEK SOUP



Low Fat Potato Leek Soup image

This is the simple Potato Leek Soup I like to make in big batches the day after I roast a chicken. One chicken carcass usually yields about 8 cups of broth which works perfectly for this recipe. I developed it using inspiration from a few online recipes but deliberately took out the usual milk and reduced the butter. I also didn't want too many complicated ingredients to prepare - so kept the spices to a minimum. For safety you will need to use a pressure cooker if you plan to jar and preserve it.

  • Use Reduced-Fat Milk or Broth: To reduce the fat content, use reduced-fat milk or broth instead of whole milk or cream.
  • Add Vegetables for Extra Nutrition: Add chopped carrots, celery, onions, or other vegetables to the soup for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Season to Taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, croutons, or shredded cheese before serving for an extra touch of flavor and appeal.
