Leek & Potato Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Ultimate comfort food soup right here. This Leek & Potato Soup is velvety, smooth and luscious soup. Don’t take my word for it, give it a try!

Leek & Potato Soup

So if you’re like me and you don’t like white soup, give this one a try.  It really does have a great flavour and wonderful for warming you up on these cold days.  Plus it uses such few ingredients so it’s easy to make.  

This is a great winter warmer of a soup and it’s so easy.  Done relatively quickly and you can blend it in the pot if you have an immersion blender.

Take a look!

Notes about the Leek & Potato Soup

  • Try and use a good quality vegetable stock.  So, if you are not making your own (and most of us don’t on a regular basis lets face it!), buy the carton.  The flavour is much better than the stock cubes.
  • When you are cooking your potatoes and leeks (as you will see in the recipe below), you may need to add a little stock so it doesn’t stick.  So just watch out for that.

Leek & Potato Soup

I left this soup quite basic and didn’t even add garlic, which is very rare for me.  But sometimes I do, so add a few crushed garlic cloves if you feel like it.

I topped this soup with some smoked Gouda, fresh parsley and black pepper.  Garnishes are totally optional but they bring the soup to a whole new tasty level.

Happy soup making friends and see you soon!

      Hi Lisa, yes you can freeze it. For best results make sure it’s in either a good quality freezer container or ziplock bag. It will keep up to two months. You may need to add a little more broth after it’s defrosted, if it’s too thick. Hope this helps.
