One More Recipe For This Underrated Veggie!

It started to get cold over here so we thought we should make something with leeks. I’m not sure why but winter calls for recipes with leek and since we already had some potatoes and chicken stock we decided to make a soup!

If you’re efficient in the kitchen (And you should always try to be) you will definitely have it served in half an hour. That’s really impressive for a soup made from scratch.

I make it as a dinner or as one of the sides. My wife prefers it for lunch though.

Notes:

  • If you want to limit your calories you can change the butter for olive oil and not add the cream. Though I give it as an option I think that cream adds so much flavour and really connects all the ingredients of the soup. Enjoy!
  • You can easily swap the chicken stock for a vegetable one. This will also change the flavour but it will still be very tasty.
  • I often make my own chicken stock. If you don’t have time or lacking the valuable “fridge space” to store it after then I recommend buying a good unsalted chicken stock. Try to find a product with as less ingredients as possible.
  • If you want to make the soup even smoother then pass it through a dense colander after blending it.
