Instructions
- In a large heavy bottom pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leek and sauté until the leeks are soft, 4 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the water and salt and partially cover cooking at medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes or until the vegetables are nice and tender.
- With an immersion blender or food mill, mash all the vegetables to a rich paste-like consistency.
- Off the heat, and just before serving into the soup bowl add the whipping cream and stir well.
- Ladle on bowls, place a dollop of crème Fraiche in the middle, and sprinkle the chive over it.
Notes
- Immersion blender or blender?
- I have an old immersion blender that does not finely chop all the leeks. Therefore, I use my Vitamix blender under the soup section. What you want is a very smooth soup. All the potatoes and leeks are finely ground.
- Want to make this soup richer?
- Instead of water, use homemade vegetable or chicken stock. This will not change the flavor.
- Can you make this ahead of time?
- Yes, you can. As you can see, it takes no time to make, and I enjoy making a large pot. It stores well for a couple of days in the refrigerator.
- Can I make this soup with the Pressure Cooker?
- Absolutely! Follow the same steps as the recipe card here below. Program your pressure cooker for 10 minutes on the program 2 or grains.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for soups.
- Storage instructions
- Once the soup is entirely cooled off, it can be stored in an air-tight container, I prefer glass, in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- This excellent Potage Parmentier or Potatoes Leek soup is the perfect light lunch or dinner starter.
