👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Melt the butter in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and chopped onion. Sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to brown the leeks.
2
Add the diced potatoes, chicken stock, and milk to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.
3
Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a standing blender and process until smooth. For a chunkier texture, you can use a potato masher.
4
Stir in the salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5
Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped chives and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
💡 전문가 팁: For an even creamier texture, use a higher fat milk or add a splash of heavy cream.
