Leek soup with minced meat - Comfort Food

I have made this leek soup with minced meat countless times, as it is a family favorite. It is wonderfully spicy, hearty and warming - just the thing for cold days. But it also tastes delicious in the transitional period or on slightly cooler spring days.

1. Step

To cook the leek soup with minced meat recipe, start with the minced meat. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the mince. I like the meat to be nice and crumbly and brown, so I always fry it for quite a long time. Don't forget to season it with salt, pepper and paprika.

2. Step

While the meat is browning, chop the onion and garlic and add them to the meat. The same applies here: take your time. The onions and garlic should be nice and golden brown, which gives the soup even more flavor.

3. Step

Now we come to the leek. Cut them into thin rings and wash them thoroughly. I always place the leek rings in a bowl of cold water and then swirl them back and forth a little. This rinses out the sand that is often still hidden in the layers of leek.

4. Step

Add the leek to the meat and onions in the pan and sauté everything together until the leek has softened. Patience is required here: let the leek stew for a really long time, it should almost fall apart. This will make the soup particularly creamy later on.

5. Step

Now it's time for the stock. Pour it into the pan and leave the soup to simmer for at least 20 minutes. Taste the soup from time to time and season as required. Remember that the stock also contains salt, so be careful with adding extra salt.

6. Step

Finally, add the cream to the leek soup with mince. I always use the full-fat version because it gives the soup a great creaminess. But you can of course also choose a lower-fat version. Bring the soup to the boil again briefly and then taste it one last time.
