Here’s a little peek at what you’re about to whip up:

Ingredients

To get this soup started, you’re gonna need some simple ingredients:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 leeks, cleaned and sliced (white and light green parts only)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (Yukon Golds work great)
4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth if you prefer)
1 cup heavy cream (or one cup of your favorite non-dairy option)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Now let’s get cooking, fam! Follow these simple steps:

In a large pot, melt the butter along with the olive oil over medium heat. Once it’s nice and hot, add in your sliced leeks and sauté until they’re soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, but don’t let it burn—just until it’s aromatic.
Next, toss in those diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until those potatoes are tender, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. You can also carefully transfer it in batches to a regular blender. Just be sure to let it cool a bit first!
Stir in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper to taste, and heat through. If you want it creamier, feel free to add more cream!
Serve it up warm, garnished with fresh chives if you like, and enjoy every spoonful!

This soup is not just good for the soul but also brings the family together. Grab some crusty bread to dip, and you’ve got a comforting meal ready to go. Enjoy!
