Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthy Potato Leek Soup.
Step 1
To start your delicious soup, grab a medium stockpot and melt some butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is bubbling, toss in the diced onion and stir it around frequently.
Step 3
You want it to become slightly translucent, which should take about five minutes.
Step 4
Next, add the chopped celery and let it cook for another two minutes, stirring occasionally to keep everything evenly cooked.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to introduce the sliced leeks to the pot.
Step 6
Stir them in and cook until they’re nice and limp, which should take about two to three minutes.
Step 7
Once your veggies are looking good, lower the heat to medium-low and add the chopped potatoes along with three cups of water.
Step 8
Let this simmer gently until the potatoes are just starting to soften, adding more water as needed to keep everything covered.
Step 9
This should take around 20 to 25 minutes, so feel free to enjoy the wonderful aromas filling your kitchen during this time.
Step 10
When the potatoes are ready, gradually stir in the low-fat milk while mixing the soup continuously.
Step 11
This will give your soup a creamy texture that’s simply irresistible.
Step 12
Don’t forget to season it with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Step 13
Let the soup heat through for about five to ten minutes, and then you’re ready to serve up a warm, comforting bowl of goodness.
Step 14
Enjoy every spoonful of this delightful creation!.
