Leek And Potato Soup Recipe

     A while back, I was introduced to leek and potato soup.  Let me tell you, it was delicious!  I have since tweaked it a bit, to suit our fancies.  Maybe you will enjoy it, too?

Leek & Potato Soup

3 Celery Ribs, chopped

1 Whole Garlic Bulb, pressed

2 Green Onions, chopped

1 Green Pepper, chopped

2 (or more!) Jalapenos, chopped

3 Leeks, chopped

2 Yellow Onions, chopped

4 Medium Potatoes, Peeled & Cubed

28 oz. Chicken Broth

3 TBS All-Purpose Flour

1/2 tsp Pepper

1/4 tsp Salt

2 TBS Olive Oil

3/4 Cup Sour Cream

1 Cup Water

     SAUTE:  Celery, yellow onions, leeks, green pepper, jalapenos, & garlic in oil, until tender.

     Add potatoes, broth, water, salt, & pepper:  bring to a boil.  Reduce heat & cover.  Simmer 10-15 minutes.

     

     In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup sour cream with flour until smooth; then add to soup.  Cook & stir for another 2 minutes.  Reduce heat to low.  Stir in remaining sour cream & green onions until blended.  Heat thoroughly, then serve!
