Ingredients

1 hour 10 mins
4 servings
  1. 2leeks, white and pale green parts only, washed and chopped
  2. 1/2 cuponion, chopped
  3. 4chives, chopped
  4. 2 clovegarlic, diced
  5. 2 tbspbutter
  6. 6 largepotatoes, peeled and cubed
  7. 4 cuplow sodium chicken broth
  8. 1 cuphalf and half
  9. 1shredded cheddar cheese to taste
  10. 1 tbspchopped fresh parsley
  11. 1salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

1 hour 10 mins
  1. 1

    In a pot over medium heat, cooked the leeks, onion, chives, and garlic until tender. About 5 min. Add the potatoes and broth. Cook until potatoes are tender. (About 20-25 min)

  2. 2

    Add half and half, and continue to simmer until it starts to thicken slightly. (About 10 min)

  3. 3

    Divide the soup in half and place one half in a blender. Once smooth, add back into the pot. This will help release some of the starch from the potatoes to help thicken it as well. Although if you like a chunkier soup you can skip this step.

  4. 4

    Add the cheese, parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Stir continuously until cheese is melted, about 5 min.

  5. 5

    Dish into bowl, top with some more cheese, and a sprig of parsley. Serve and enjoy :)
