How to Make

  • Step 2: Save several slices of leek for garnish.

  • Step 3: Saute the potatoes and leeks in the butter over medium heat in a 6-quart stock pot for 5 minutes or until edges are golden.

  • Step 4: Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes.

  • Step 5: Add all the seasonings and milk and continue simmering for at least another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  • Step 6: Add the cream and check for salt, adding more if desired. Heat thoroughly. Garnish with parsley and or a few slices of leek on top of each bowl.

  • Step 7: Yield: 8 cups (or 4 servings)
