Time: 1 Hour
Yields: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 6 potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
- 8 leeks, whites only, thoroughly washed
- 3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
- 1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 quarts chicken stock
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 ounces (1 stick) melted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper
Directions
In a large pot, place potatoes, 4 of the leeks (reserving the rest), celery, onion, bay leaf and chicken stock and bring to a boil, about 15 minutes. Continue to boil until potatoes are soft. Chop the remaining 4 leeks. Mix flour and butter in small bowl to make a roux for thickening the soup. Add the remaining leeks, roux, cream, fresh thyme, and salt and pepper. Remove bay leaf. Using an immersion blender (or in batches in a blender or food processor), blend soup until smooth. Pour into a medium pot and simmer for 20 more minutes until soup has thickened and serve.

I am anxious to try this too. I love potatoes and homemade potato soup.
I’ve had this before….except it had Italian sausage in it. Love u Chef…watch you all the time!! Keep up the great work mate!
I’m going to make this tonight for my family. Hope it comes out okay!
Let us know how it is!
It came out fantastic! I didn’t blend it and I added string beans to it. My mum, sister and brother said it was fantastic and they’d take the whole pot with them to work if they could. I had fun making this and I served it with a side of Irish Soda Bread. Thank you for sharing this on your website.
So good to see the website for Chef Robert. He has become one of my favorites.
You can’t just show yummy looking food piuctres to a pregnant woman. Looks like I’m headed to the store to make chicken and vegetable corn chowder!
