👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the vegetables: clean and slice the leeks, peel and cube the potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure leeks are thoroughly washed to remove any grit.
2
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and milk. Season with salt and white pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: If using heavy cream, you can add it now or towards the end of cooking.
5
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.
6
Once the vegetables are tender, use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.
💡 전문가 팁: Be cautious when blending hot liquids.
7
If using heavy cream and did not add it earlier, stir it in now. Heat gently without boiling.
💡 전문가 팁: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
8
Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with crumbled crispy bacon and fresh thyme, if desired. Serve hot.
💡 전문가 팁: This soup is also delicious served with crusty bread.
