Leek and Potato Soup
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter, or more if needed
  • 2 leeks, cleaned and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Heat the butter in a saucepan over a moderate temperature. Introduce the leeks and onion into the pot; cook and stir until they become soft and palatable, approximately 5 minutes.
2
Add diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot; let it simmer until the potatoes are fully cooked, typically taking 20 to 25 minutes.
3
Stir in half-and-half; continue to simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, roughly another 15 minutes.
4
Stir in melted Cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is fully incorporated and melted, approximately 5 minutes.
