Not everyone loves Winter but I do. Summer makes me anxious but in winter I am chilled, no pun intended. Seriously, I prefer the cooler weather. Although my autoimmune conditions have a field day in Winter, all those aches and pains creeps up on me. But we can’t have it all now, can we. My 11-year-old, who is not a potato fan, absolutely loves this soup. He usually doesn’t eat much potatoes, apart from my Potato Bake. But he has already requested that I make this Delicious Potato Leek Soup again next week, so that says something.
For this soup you do need a lot of leeks, it’s no point calling it a Potato and Leek soup if we skimp on the leeks. I used 2 huge leeks which added so much flavor to the soup. I also added a few sprigs of thyme, you don’t have to use the exact amount of thyme suggested. Thyme has a beautiful but subtle flavor, i have never had an instance where I’ve used too much thyme. It is my favorite herb and the more the merrier. I have also used half water and half vegetable stock. That worked fine for me. You can use more stock if you wish. I prefer to use a low sodium stock and if I have the time I make my own.
If you loved this, please share!
