Directions
Perfect Potato, Leek and Onion Soup With Garlic Cheese Toasts, Comfort food at it’s finest! This creamy, flavor-full soup is perfect to curl up with on a cold day or any time of year , I’ve made this with both vegetable and chicken stock and find that there is more flavour with the chicken If you like a thicker soup (I do) I would say only use 6 1/2 cups of stock instead
I’ve made this recipe many times quite a few times following the instructions I have a couple of variations use, I find that adding 1 stalk celery, one large carrot and garlic (1-3 cloves depending on taste) gives it some nice flavour, sometimes I’ll add 1 jalapeno pepper to the recipe to give it a bit of a kick , This was a good warming recipe I’ve been trying to find a potato leek soup like they used to make at a bistro I worked at This wasn’t quite it- the texture is grainy instead of creamy But perhaps they used a different kind of potato and I think there was also a lot of cream
