Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons (1.5 ounces) butter
- 2 leeks, cleaned and sliced
- 3 Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1.5 pounds), peeled and chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a soup pot over low heat.
- Add the sliced leeks and cook until softened and just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and salt and stir to mix.
- Cover the vegetables with water, about 4 cups, cover the pot, and simmer for about 30 minutes until you can pierce the potatoes easily with a fork.
- Remove the pot from heat and let the potato soup cool briefly before puréeing in the blender or food processor. Return the soup to the pot and rewarm gently.
Notes
- Be sure to clean your leeks by making a partial cut running lengthwise from the top to the bottom of the leek. Spread the layers apart and run the leek under the faucet to clean out any dirt.
- If you use a hand-held stick blender to purée this 4-ingredient potato soup, please make sure to unplug it before you clean it! You can read more about this and other hazards in the kitchen from a doctor's perspective.
- This 4 ingredient potato and leek soup can be served hot, warm, or even cold.
