Perfect potato soup
List of Ingredients
4 russet potatoes, peeled and diced
5 leeks, trimmed, cleaned, and thinly sliced, including the tender
green part
1 14 and 1/2-ounce can chicken broth
2 cups water
a generous pinch of dill weed
fresh chopped parsley
fresh chopped chives
1 cup half and half
freshly ground pepper
Recipe
Put the potatoes, leeks, chicken broth, and water into a large
heavy-bottomed kettle. Bring just to a boil, then turn the heat down
to simmer. Simmer partially covered for 20 minutes or until vegetables
are tender.
Pass the soup through a food mill or processor, then return it to the
pan. Add the herbs and whisk in the half and half. Season with pepper
and salt, if needed.
