I got an immersion blender. This means now I can make all the soups, all the time. I love potato soup. I love the delicate flavor of the leeks. I love running around the house with a leek held to my head like a unicorn horn yelling “I’ve sprung a leek!”
1/2 medium size onion, diced
3 leeks, white and light green sections sliced into 1/4 in rounds
a whole lot of garlic
8 golden potatoes. cubed. you can use any variety, but red skins make the soup a strange color.
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 bay leaf
salt to taste
water of sufficient quantity to boil potaotes
oil of choice
in a soup pan, saute onions, garlic, and 2/3 of the leeks in oil until onions are transparent and leeks are floppy. Add cubed potatoes and sufficient water to cover them. Add spices. Bring to a boil and then simmer until potatoes are soft. Use the immersion blender to homogenize your soup. Adjust spice levels as needed. Add remaining leeks to soup and simmer until they are floppy.
if your soup is too thick, add more water. If it is too thin, cook it longer.
Enjoy!
