Chunky Potato Leek Soup

Potato leek soup is definitely a fall favorite. A lot of recipes have you blend all the ingredients to a fine pulp.

This not only gets rid of the chunky potatoes I like in my soup but created a sink full of dishes. This recipe does not use a blender or food processor.

Here is a great chunky potato leek soup recipe.

6 - Yellow Potatoes

4 - Leeks

4 - Celery Stalks

1 - Bay Leaf

8 Cup - Vegetable or Chicken Stock

1 Cup - Milk

1 1/2 Tbsp - Italian Seasoning

1 Tsp - Salt

1 Tsp - Pepper

-

Dutch Oven

Knife

Measuring Cups

Measuring Spoons

• Finely chop leeks
• Finely chop celery stalks

-

Note: Again, be sure to finely chop! We won't be blending so this will be the final size of the vegetables in your soup.

• Roughly chop potatoes into 2" cubes.

Turn stove on medium and add the following:

• 8 Cup - Vegetable or Chicken Stock
• 6 - Yellow Potatoes
• 4 - Leeks
• 4 - Celery Stalks

Bring to a boil.

• Add bay leaf.
• Add 1 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning.
• Stir.
• Cook until potatoes are soft. (approx. 15 minutes)

-

When your potatoes start to soften, they should fall apart. You may have to break up some large pieces with your spoon.

When your potatoes are almost cooked through:

• Remove Bay Leaf
• Add 1 cup milk.
• Stir until soup thickens.
• Salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy!
