I came home from the market with a bundle of beautiful leeks and no real plan, and this is what happened. It&#8217;s an autumn soup through and through. Honestly, nothing beats a bowl of it with a fresh baguette and a good cheese. Simple, comforting, and the whole house smells like it while it simmers.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udd25 Caramelize the leeks first, that&#8217;s the whole trick<\/h3>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what most potato leek soup recipes skip. They sweat the vegetables gently and move on. I roast mine in olive oil for 8 to 10 minutes before any liquid goes in, until the leeks stop being merely soft and actually start to caramelize. The depth you get out of that is not subtle. Just don&#8217;t push it too far, because a scorched leek turns bitter and there&#8217;s no walking that back. And rather than water, I use chicken broth: at least it&#8217;s a liquid that tastes like something.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83e\uddc0 No cream in the pot, just a drizzle in the bowl<\/h3>\n<p>The silkiness here comes from the potatoes, blended smooth, not from cream simmered into the soup. The cream shows up at the very end, a thin drizzle in the middle of the bowl. It looks great and it rounds off the edges without weighing anything down. With my <a href=\"https:\/\/lecoupdegrace.ca\/en\/recipe\/goat-cheese-croutons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grilled goat cheese croutons<\/a> alongside, this soup punches well above what the ingredient list suggests. As a starter it impresses. Add a baguette, some chorizo and a good cheese and it&#8217;s dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83c\udf72 My mother&#8217;s soup, and an armful of leeks This potato leek soup started out as my mother&#8217;s.
