Ingredients

Method

  1. Split leeks lengthwise and rinse between layers to remove grit; slice thinly.
  2. Melt butter over medium-low heat; soften leeks for 7 minutes without browning.
  3. Add potatoes and stock and simmer 18–20 minutes until potatoes crush easily.
  4. Take off heat and mash or blend carefully; add milk and salt and reheat gently until steaming.

Tips

  • If blending, let the soup cool slightly and never seal hot soup in a closed blender.
  • Cleaning between leek layers is essential because grit hides near the base.
