Description

A luxurious blend of creamy potatoes and tender leeks, perfect for chilly evenings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 leeks, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and leeks, and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat gently on the stove.
