Ingredients
Scale
4 large Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
3 medium leeks, cleaned and sliced (white parts only)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or olive oil for a vegan option)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced leeks. Sauté until the leeks are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Add the Potatoes and Broth: Once the leeks and onions are seasoned with a sprinkle of salt, add the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring this mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer Until Tender: Let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. This step allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, reserve some potato pieces before blending and add them back in afterwards.
Stir in the Cream: Add the heavy cream or coconut milk and stir until well combined. Let it heat through on low for a few minutes. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish and Serve: Serve the soup in bowls and garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Enjoy this delightful dish while warm!
