How to make Potato Leek Soup


This is one of the simplest soups I've ever come across, and the payoff is huge: it is also one of the tastiest. As Fall comes on, there's little better to warm your belly.

  1. Sweat leeks in butter over medium heat.
  2. Add stock and potatoes and cook until spuds are tender.
  3. Use immersion blender to puree.
  4. Add milk for a creamier consistency, if desired.
  5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

Yields approximately 2 quarts.
