Liechtensteiner Potato and Leek Soup
A hearty and creamy soup, a comforting staple in Liechtenstein, made with potatoes, leeks, and often enriched with a touch of cream.
🧂 Ingredienti
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 3 large Leeks(white and light green parts only, thoroughly washed and sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1 kg Potatoes(Yukon Gold or similar waxy potatoes, peeled and diced)
- 1.5 liter Vegetable or Chicken Broth
- 200 ml Heavy cream(optional, for extra richness)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
- for garnish Chives(chopped)
👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes, being careful not to brown them.

Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.

Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and process until smooth. Return the soup to the pot if using a regular blender.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped chives.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓Ensure leeks are washed very thoroughly to remove any grit.
- ✓For a thicker soup, use a starchier potato variety.
- ✓If you don't have an immersion blender, a regular blender works, but be cautious when blending hot liquids.
