Step 1
To start your delicious potato and leek soup, grab a medium pot and toss in your cubed potatoes along with the chicken broth.
Step 2
Set the heat to medium and bring everything to a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until those potatoes are nice and tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are bubbling away, take a separate skillet and melt some margarine over medium heat.
Step 5
Add in your chopped leeks and sauté them for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and fragrant.

Once your potatoes are perfectly cooked, it’s time to bring it all together! Add the sautéed leeks and a generous splash of heavy whipping cream to the pot with the potatoes.

Give it a good stir to combine all those wonderful flavors.

If you prefer a creamier texture, grab a potato masher and gently mash some of the potatoes right in the soup.
