Potato and leek soup is a classic comfort dish that combines the mild, sweet flavor of leeks with the hearty texture of potatoes. Perfect for a chilly day, this soup is both creamy and satisfying. Here's a straightforward recipe to make this delicious soup at home.
- When cleaning leeks, make sure to rinse them thoroughly to remove any grit or dirt between the layers.
- Use a waxy potato variety like Yukon Gold for a smoother texture.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine before simmering.
- Blend the soup in batches if your blender is small, and always be cautious when blending hot liquids.
- If you prefer a chunkier soup, blend only a portion of the soup and mix it back into the pot.
- Garnish with extra chives or a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor and presentation.
