Add watercress for potage au cresson, serve it chilled for Vichyssoise — or top it with bacon.

This version is almost identical to the full-blown version, with the exception that rather than pressing the potatoes through a ricer, you just dump all of the ingredients into a blender, blending it just until puréed (the more you blend it the gluier it becomes). This potato leek soup is heavy on the leeks, with just enough potato to give the soup its signature creamy texture. This is a recipe you can assemble in the slow cooker and leave for the whole day, coming home to the sweet, earthy, caramel perfume of long-cooked leeks and potato. This leek and potato soup recipe is easy and delicious.

Steps to make Easy Potato Leek Soup:

1. In a pot over medium heat, cooked the leeks, onion, chives, and garlic until tender. About 5 min. Add the potatoes and broth. Cook until potatoes are tender. (About 20-25 min)
2. Add half and half, and continue to simmer until it starts to thicken slightly. (About 10 min)
3. Divide the soup in half and place one half in a blender. Once smooth, add back into the pot. This will help release some of the starch from the potatoes to help thicken it as well. Although if you like a chunkier soup you can skip this step.
4. Add the cheese, parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Stir continuously until cheese is melted, about 5 min.
5. Dish into bowl, top with some more cheese, and a sprig of parsley. Serve and enjoy :)
