Ingredients

  • 6 potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
  • 8 leeks, whites only, thoroughly washed
  • 3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 quarts chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 ounces (1 stick) melted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

In a large pot, place potatoes, 4 of the leeks (reserving the rest), celery, onion, bay leaf and chicken stock and bring to a boil, about 15 minutes. Continue to boil until potatoes are soft. Chop the remaining 4 leeks. Mix flour and butter in small bowl to make a roux for thickening the soup. Add the remaining leeks, roux, cream, fresh thyme, and salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf. Using an immersion blender (or in batches in a blender or food processor), blend soup until smooth. Pour into a medium pot and simmer for 20 more minutes until soup has thickened and serve.

    Perfect

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Home run first pitch! It is thick but a thick hearty soup in the winter is exactly what you need! Recipe was easy to follow... and overall easy to make. Personally my only challenge came when I had to blend it in my food processor a batch at a time. Kind of messy, I only have a 10 cup food processor... Overall good! Read more

    Impressive Flavor!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I had it made when my mother-in-law flew in town. She warmed it up and it was the most flavorful welcoming bowl of soup ever!... I loved every bite of it. My husband was very impressed as well. This batch was huge, but not too much, since we ate it up within a few days: It was that good!Read more

    Recipe Needs Work - way to heavy

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    I tend to follow recipes exactly the first time through. Six potatoes ( used 6 medium russets), 4 leeks and 2 quarts of... stock made a very thick base, then adding the remaining chopped leeks , thyme and cream produced a wonderful flavour but the roux was WAY to heavy. Thickened up to a heavy stew like consistency. Saved it by adding another quart of stoick and another cup of half n half. HAve enough soup for 12 entrees. There are better more clear recipees out there.Read more
