Ingredients
- 3 large leek dark green stems removed
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 large white onion chopped
- 5 cups chicken broth low sodium or no sodium added, more or less depending how thick or thin you like your soup
- 2 pound potato Yukon or Russets, peeled and diced in 1 inch pieces
- 1 bay leaf
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Wash leeks carefully and coarsely slice them.
- In a medium Dutch oven melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and onion and cook for about 10 minutes until the leeks ore softened, but not browned, stirring occasionally.
- Add the broth, diced potatoes, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Increase the heat to high until the soup comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and are fork tender.
- Discard the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender or standing blender to blend the soup until smooth or desired consistency. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.
- Stir in the milk and garnish with parsley. Serve with a dollop of sour cream if preferred.

Notes
- If you have lots of leftovers, you can keep the soup in the pot you made it in with a lid. Otherwise, transfer your leftovers to an airtight container. They'll last 2-3 days in the fridge.
- Reheat in the microwave, or over medium heat on your stovetop.
