Potato leek soup, or potage parmentier, is a French classic. It's one of the first dishes I learned to make in culinary school, right after a proper omelet, because it's an essential base soup in French cuisine. Add watercress for potage au cresson, serve it chilled for Vichyssoise — or top it with bacon.

This potato leek soup is heavy on the leeks, with just enough potato to give the soup its signature creamy texture. This is a recipe you can assemble in the slow cooker and leave for the whole day, coming home to the sweet, earthy, caramel perfume of long-cooked leeks and potato. This version is almost identical to the full-blown version, with the exception that rather than pressing the potatoes through a ricer, you just dump all of the ingredients into a blender, blending it just until puréed (the more you blend it the gluier it becomes). Cream is added to potatoes and leeks cooked in chicken broth in this simple, easy-to-prepare soup.
Instructions to make Easy Potato Leek Soup:
- In a pot over medium heat, cooked the leeks, onion, chives, and garlic until tender. About 5 min. Add the potatoes and broth. Cook until potatoes are tender. (About 20-25 min)
- Add half and half, and continue to simmer until it starts to thicken slightly. (About 10 min)
- Divide the soup in half and place one half in a blender. Once smooth, add back into the pot. This will help release some of the starch from the potatoes to help thicken it as well. Although if you like a chunkier soup you can skip this step.
- Add the cheese, parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Stir continuously until cheese is melted, about 5 min.
- Dish into bowl, top with some more cheese, and a sprig of parsley. Serve and enjoy :)
