Leek and Potato Soup
2 tbsp oil
4 leeks, rinsed and finely chopped, white and light green parts only
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
3 cups vegetable broth
1⁄4 cup cream (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat.
Add leeks and celery and sauté until they begin to soften.
Add garlic and sauté for another minute.
Add potatoes and vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Add cream.
Puree soup with an immersion blender or in batches in a traditional blender.
If using a traditional blender, remember:
• Only fill your blender 1/3 full.
• Remove the center insert in the lid of your blender to allow hot air to escape.
• Cover 3⁄4 of the hole with a kitchen towel to avoid splashes.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
Garnish with fresh black pepper.
Enjoy!
