Description

This creamy potato and leek soup is a comforting classic, perfect for a chilly evening. I've been making this soup for years, and it's always a hit with my family. The combination of potatoes and leeks creates a naturally sweet and savory flavor that's simply irresistible. It's quick and easy to prepare, making it ideal for a weeknight meal. For a richer flavor, you can use chicken stock, or keep it vegetarian with vegetable stock. A swirl of cream and fresh chives adds a touch of elegance. This soup is also great for meal prepping – it tastes even better the next day!
