Recipe

Potato Leek Soup

I make this pareve during the year but I save the dairy one especially for Shavuos!! I use Yukon Gold potatoes, heavy cream & butter, but during the year I use any potatoes, onions instead of leeks, margarine or olive oil instead of butter & pareve whipping cream or creamer instead of heavy cream. If you want you can serve this the French way as Vichyssoise, especially if it's very hot outside.

Times

  • Prep Time : 10 min
  • Cook Time : 20-25 min
  • Ready Time : 30 min

Servings

6-8

Ingredients

  • 4 leeks piece greens cut off you can use instead 1 large spanish onion cut up
  • 4 butter or margarine (more if needed) tablespoons you can use olive oil if you want
  • 6-8 Yukon Gold Potatoes medium peeled & cut up
  • salt & pepper pinch
  • 2 pareve chicken or onion soup mix tablespoons lieber's has no MSG
  • 2 heavy cream cups use pareve whipping cream if you want it pareve

Directions

In a large dutch oven, heat over med heat 2 Tb butter till just melted.

Add leeks (or onion) & sautee till soft, about 5 min. (I like to sprinkle a pinch of salt over it to help caramelize it). Add potatoes & rest of butter. Stir & cook for about 15 min. Add water, soup mix & seasonings. Stir, cover & cook for 20 min. Take off heat.

Separate solids from liquids & put solids into blender or food processor with some of the liquid(If you have an immersion blender you can just do this all in the pot). Blend/process till smooth, adding additional liquid if needed. Return to pot with all the liquid. Add cream & adjust seasonings. Before serving sprinkle dill over dish.

I have been cooking since I was 9 years old & made "scrambled pancakes" for my father's breakfast! Since them I have become more experienced in the kitchen & have evolved into an eclectic cook. I love cooking all types of international food. Eventhough I am an Ashkenazi baalah bustah, I have become known for my Middle Eastern foods as well as "old home style cookings"

    I made this tonight, it was fantastic! I added broc and used milk instead of cream. Then added a dollop of sour cream, chives and cheddar on top.
