Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Add the olive oil to the Dutch oven and heat until shimmering.
  • Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  • Add the potatoes and chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Using an immersion blender or regular blender, purée the soup until smooth.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and heat through.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

For a smokier flavor, smoke the potatoes before adding them to the soup. To do this, preheat a smoker to 225 degrees F (107 degrees C). Place the potatoes on a smoker rack and smoke for 1-2 hours, or until tender.
If you don’t have heavy cream, you can substitute it with milk or half-and-half.
You can also add other vegetables to this soup, such as carrots or celery.
Serve the soup with crusty bread for dipping.
