Homemade Cream of Leek and Potato Soup.

RECIPE
Homemade Cream of Leek and Potato Soup

Ingredients

2 tablespoons
unsalted butter or oil
2
leeks, white and light green parts only, roughly chopped
3
cloves garlic, chopped
2 medium
potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
7 cups
chicken broth or water
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 tbsp flour
1 cup
heavy cream
1 tbsp fresh dill

Cooking Instructions:

1. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the leeks and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until soft and wilted, about 10 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary so as not to brown.
2. Add the potatoes, stock, salt and pepper to pot and bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft.
3.  Add flour to the heavy cream and bring to a simmer allowing the soup to thicken. Stir in dill once the soup is finished cooking. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

* Makes about 4 servings;
** If pureeing the soup, omit the flour;
*** For vegetarian version, use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock;
**** For gluten free, substitute the flour with a couple spoonfuls of sour cream;
***** Other cream soups I have made: Cream of Roasted Red Pepper Soup by Kitteh-Pawz, Chunky Cream of Broccoli Soup by Kitteh-Pawz, Cream of Zucchini Soup by Kitteh-Pawz, Cream of Kabocha Squash Soup by Kitteh-Pawz.
