Ingredients
- 4 medium leeks (dark green stems removed)
- 1/2 large white onion (chopped)
- 2 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and cut into cubes)
- 1 tablespoon flour (use AP gluten free flour for GF)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 cups chicken broth (or use vegetable broth for vegetarians)
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- salt and fresh pepper (to taste)
- fresh chives (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Wash leeks very carefully to remove all grit. I usually cut them horizontally and separate the rings to make sure no dirt remains. Coarsely chop them when washed.
- In a medium soup pot, melt the butter and add the flour on low heat.
- Using a wooden spoon, mix well. This will thicken your soup and give it a wonderful flavor.
- Add chicken broth, leeks, onion, potatoes and bring to a boil.
- Cover and simmer on low for about 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are soft.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth adding the milk and adjusting salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately.
