Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 2 leeks, rinsed well and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 4 cups leftover cooked new potatoes
  • 6 cups reduced-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 4 teaspoons chopped fresh chives

Directions

Heat butter in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add leeks and garlic and cook 3 minutes, until soft. Add thyme and marjoram and cook 1 minute, until fragrant. Add potatoes and broth, increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover and simmer 5 minutes.

Using an immersion blender, puree until smooth (or puree in a blender and return mixture to pot). Remove from heat and whisk in sour cream. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and top with chives.

    instead of using cooked potatoes, i boiled raw diced spuds in the stock. they became more flavorful.

    I added salt to taste because the recipe doesn't call for any. I also kind of regret the sour cream. I tasted it right before I added the cream and it was delicious. The sour cream overwhelmed it and it lost some of it's savory deliciousness. I think it would taste better with 1/4 cup heavy cream... When you make this, taste it before you put the cream in and see for yourself. Otherwise, yummy. I got rave reviews regardless.

    This recipe was delicious and easy. It was very flavorful and delicious hot -and I'm sure it will be just as good cold.
