Creamy Leek and Potato Soup

"Leeks can have sand in them, the best way t make sure all sand is gone, is to cut the leek lengthwise, almost to the root end. Then rinse under cool water and fan the leaves. This soup can be served warm or chilled. I personally like it warm."

  1. This is really lovely, such great flavour with minimal ingredients. I cooked in my crockpot for about 4 hours on high and since we don't have half and half here I just used milk.
     
  2. lovely soup, so flavourful!! I added 2 bay leaves and some garlic and used 2% milk instead of the half and half. It turned out wonderful. Made it for the freezer for lunches, The chives added a lovely freshness to it and looked so nice serving it. Thanks for posting , I will make it again.
     
  3. This soup was fantastic, a nice thick soup. I added dill instead of chives and a can of corn along with the half-and-half. We really enjoyed it and will definitely make it again.
     
  4. Enjoyed the soup! If you enjoy leeks you will like this soup. I used vegetable broth and butter instead of chicken broth and margarine. The chives add a wonderful flavor and looks very pretty.
