Simple. Easy. Delicious. That is what my recipes are all about!
I love creating quick recipes that are also super tasty. And trust me, this potato leek soup definitely delivers! This soup comes together in just 30 minutes and uses ingredients you probably already have on hand.
Using an immersion blender really takes this soup to the next level and creates the most velvety texture. I like to top this soup with a bit of heavy cream and chopped chives - it really presents so beautifully. Serve it up hot with some crusty bread for a quick weeknight meal or easy lunch. Yum! Enjoy!

Hi, I’m wondering how much flour is to be added. I don’t see it listed among the ingredients. Thx
Sounds good, but pretty low on protein for a main dish by itself. Maybe serve with a sandwich?
