I know it is quite late in the season for a soup recipe, but I made this Leek and Potato Soup recently and just had to share it. This is a fairly traditional Irish Leek and Potato Soup, but the simplicity means you can really make it your own with some tweaks if you wanted.
Leeks are in season late winter to early summer, so this soup is great for those slightly cooler days, or when you’re looking for something simple to make that is ultimate comfort food.
This recipe uses under 10 ingredients and can be made in under 30 minutes!
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 3-4 leeks (depending on their size), sliced
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
- 3 1/2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- salt and pepper, to taste
- fresh chives, for garnish
