Leek & Potato Soup
 

 

Blue Solaise Leeks are the secret behind the rich flavor of this hearty fall soup, which combines equal parts of leeks and potatoes making it a winner every time.

4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups coarsely chopped Blue Solaise Leeks
4 cups chopped potatoes
Melt 4 tablespoons butter with 4 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 cups coarsely chopped Blue Solaise Leeks, and stirring frequently, cook 5 minutes. Add 4 cups chopped potatoes, season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add enough water or stock to cover and simmer on low heat until potatoes are soft, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, puree in a blender, adding 1/2 cup cream, if desired.
