Cooking Instructions
- 1
Using a large pan place on a medium heat, drizzle with oil and add butter. Throw in the leeks to gently soften. I think the best way to make the soup full of flavour is to be patient allowing them to soften slow and go golden. Whilst they are softening, chop the onion and garlic and then throw in the pan stirring well. Meanwhile stirring regularly, chop up the potatoes.

After about 15 minutes the leeks and onions should be reduced and sweated down. Next add the stock to the mixture, add the milk and potatoes. Bring up to boil and a gentle simmer.

Add salt and pepper to taste. The soup needs to bubble for about 20 - 25 minutes until the potatoes are soft. Next blitz the soup in a blender. If you like your soup chunky don't bother with this next bit! Add a splash of double cream and stir through to serve and Enjoy! Yum

Here is a standard recipe for leek, which are grown in the cold winter.For variation, add cheese to change the flavor of this simple soup.The key is to cook the leek slowly to bring out the flavor, but don't burn it.If you like a richer flavor, substitute part of the amount of milk with heavy cream.This has a substantially thick consistency. Adjust the thickness as desired. Recipe by KT121 cookpad.japan -

Creamy Potato Soup Creamy Potato Soup
My trick to maintaining a smooth and creamy broth without completely breaking down the potatoes and creating a grainy texture is to simply cook the potatoes first, then set them aside while I make the soup base. This is my go-to simple version that I use as a base for multiple possibilities of add-ins. StephieCanCook
