How to make Irish Leek and Potato Soup
01.
Make the Soup
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and onion, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in the potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to purée to the desired consistency, or transfer in batches to a blender.
  • Stir in the milk or half-and-half and heat gently. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley.
