Creamy, smooth, and with the perfect balance of leek and potato flavor, this potato leek soup is a great lunch and dinner idea, excellent to make ahead.
STEP1: Cut off the top and bottom parts of the leeks, slice them in half lengthwise, and rinse them with water to remove dirt between the layers. Slice the leeks and onion thinly.
STEP4: Cover with a lid, bring to a boil, then crack the top open, and simmer on medium-low heat until the potatoes are fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes).
Serve in a bowl with a drizzle of good quality extra virgin olive oil, freshly ground black pepper, chopped chives, and a slice of toasted artisanal bread brushed with garlic.
