Don't be fooled by its simplicity, the flavors of leek and potato combine perfectly, creating a smooth and delicious cream.

Directions

40 min.
1. Step

Clean the leeks by removing the outer leaves and the dark green top (which is usually harder), leaving only the white and light green part. Chop them into slices. I advise you to rinse them well to remove any remaining deer.

2. Step

Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. This size helps them cook more quickly and ensures that they mix well with the leeks for a smooth texture.

3. Step

In a large saucepan, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the leeks for about 10 minutes over medium heat until tender.

4. Step

Add the diced potatoes and sauté for a few more minutes. This step is important so that the potatoes release their starch and our cream acquires that perfect texture.

5. Step

Pour in the vegetable stock, salt and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through. Be sure to stir occasionally.

6. Step

Once the potatoes are cooked, use a hand blender to mash all the ingredients until you get a smooth, creamy texture. If you like a more rustic texture, you can leave some small pieces.

7. Step

Serve hot with a slice of bread, if desired. Enjoy this delicious and healthy cream of leek and potato soup.
