🧂 Zutaten
- 750 g Potatoes(peeled and cubed)
- 2 large Leeks(white and light green parts only, washed and sliced)
- 1 medium Onion(chopped)

- 1 liter Vegetable or chicken broth
- 150 ml Milk or cream
- 2 tbsp Fresh chives(chopped, for garnish)

👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sliced leeks and cook until softened, about 8-10 minutes, without browning.
- 2
Add the cubed potatoes and the broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.
- 3
Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.
- 4
Return the soup to low heat. Stir in the milk or cream and heat gently, but do not boil.
- 5
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- 6
Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve immediately with oatcakes on the side.
💡 Profitipps
- ✓Ensure leeks are thoroughly washed to remove any grit.
- ✓For a richer soup, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- ✓If you don't have an immersion blender, a regular blender works, but be cautious when blending hot liquids.
