Ingredients
- 4 medium leeks
- 1/2 large white onion
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- salt and fresh pepper
- fresh chives
- 2 medium russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- 1
Rinse the leeks thoroughly to eliminate any remaining grit. I typically slice them horizontally and separate the rings to ensure all dirt is removed. Once cleaned, chop them coarsely.
- 2
In a medium-sized soup pot, melt the butter over low heat and then incorporate the flour.
- 3
Stir well with a wooden spoon to combine. This mixture will help thicken the soup while enhancing its flavor profile.
- 4
Pour in the chicken broth, then add the leeks, onion, and potatoes, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- 5
Once boiling, cover the pot and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to simmer for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes become tender.
- 6
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency, then stir in the milk and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your preference.

Serve the soup right away.
