I don't know where potato leek soup has been all my life, but I am glad it has finally made its way into my dinner rotation. This soup is easy and so satisfying. I'm sorry to have kept it to myself for so many weeks. By the way, doesn't the roll in the picture look awesome? Recipe to come later this week. Unless I forget. Sorry in advance for forgetting.
Potato leek soup
3 leeks, cut lengthwise (I waver between cutting in half or cutting in fourths; suggest your favorite fraction in the comments) and chop
2 T butter
2 C water
2 C broth
2 lbs potatoes (4 medium? I don't know. I buy funny sized potatoes, but then I also own a kitchen scale ((brag, brag, brag)) ) peeled, 1/2 inch dice
1/4 C parsley, chopped
1/2 t thyme
dash hot sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Cook leeks in butter on low for 10 minutes. Be careful not to let the leeks brown, they'll get bitter. Add water, broth, and potatoes. Simmer 20 minutes. Blend half of the soup (or whatever amount looks good). Add spices. Eat.
The roll looks awesome, and I promise it tastes even better than it looks!
ReplyDeleteYummm. I wish Steve liked soups. He's not a big big fan though. This looks super tasty though.:]

ReplyDeleteHow can someone not like soups? What common element of all soups could a person dislike? Hot liquid?
Actually, yes. He likes to eat food quickly. That is difficult to do with very hot items.
