Potato Leek soup


1 cup butter


2 leeks, sliced


salt and pepper to taste


1 quart chicken broth


1 tablespoon cornstarch


4 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced


2 cups heavy cream














DIRECTIONS


In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Cook leeks in butter with salt and pepper until tender, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.


Stir cornstarch into broth and pour broth into pot. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the cream, reduce heat and simmer at least 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
6 potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces


8 leeks, whites only, soaked in salt water to remove grit


3 stalks celery, roughly chopped


1 medium onion, peeled and quartered


1 bay leaf


2 quarts chicken stock


1/2 cup all-purpose flour


1/2 cup (4 ounces or 1 stick) melted butter


1 cup heavy cream


1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves


Salt and pepper





To a large pot add potatoes, 4 of the leeks, celery, onion, bay leaf and chicken stock. Let boil until potatoes are soft. Chop the remaining 4 leeks. Mix flour and butter in small bowl to make a roux for thickening the soup. Add the remaining leeks, roux, cream, fresh thyme, and salt and pepper, to taste. *Blend soup with an immersion blender (or in batches in a blender or food processor*). Simmer for 20 more minutes. Remove bay leaf and serve.


*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
