Spring is round the corner, but it’s still soup season around this time.

This week in Michigan, 40 degrees has risen and 50 degrees has fallen. It was a complete mood lifter! Plant small seeds of hope that this false spring day, warm days are not too far away. But up until then, the soup continues to decorate the weekly menu. Our latest and best is this extremely simple and delicious creamy potato nectus soup! This one pot soup is super easy and is a perfect dipper for torn breads or grilled cheese sandwiches with ham and cheese.

I love recipes like this.

To make this creamy potato leek soup, you’ll need it:

Unsalted butter – lends you a richness and flavour. Olive Oil – Helps to raise the smoke point in the butter while adding richness and flavor. Yellow Onion – Adds a sweet, subtle onion flavor to the soup. Green onion – lends you a mild, sweet onion flavour. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and dry your pads – instructions can be found below. Garlic – adds a unique punchy flavour. Thyme (Dry) – lends a rustic, slightly mint and lemony flavour. Russet potatoes – I like to use them as starch helps thicken the soup. Low Sodium Sodium Soup – Use low sodium chicken or vegetable soup. Half and half – this is the equal parts of whole milk and heavy cream. Kosher Salt – Enhances the flavor of the soup. Freshly ground black pepper – adds subtle bite and flavour.

For serving:

Heavy Cream cut out chives cut out ground black pepper

First, thoroughly wash 1-1/4 pounds of green onions.

Note: I weighed the onions at the grocery store, so this measurement was before removing the hard layer of the onions.

How to clean the green onions:

Start by removing the sturdy outer leaves and trimming the sturdy dark green areas. Slice the onion in half from top to bottom and keep the root intact. Incite half under a stable flow of cold water to rinse and polish sand and dirt. Dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and slices. You can also slice the onion and then spin it in a salad spinner to dry.

Make soup:

In a 4-6 quart Dutch oven, add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon of olive oil and heat over medium-to-medium heat.

Once melted, add one large yellow onion (dipped) and all sliced ​​onions. Cover and stir until occasionally soften and the onion is translucent. Approximately 8-12 minutes.

After tendering, add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme (I forgot to take this photo) and 4 cloves of chopped fresh garlic. Stir and cook for 1 minute.

Add 1 pound of peeled and diced potatoes (approximately 1-1/2 inch portion).

Pour 6 cups of low sodium soup. I like chicken soup, but I can replace vegetable soup.

Stir well and bring the stew covered in medium heat. Adjust the heat under the pot if necessary.

Cook the potatoes for about 20-25 minutes or until very tender.

Use a dip blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender, remove the center plug from the center of the lid, and cover it with a kitchen towel, puree until smooth.

Next, pour half and half of the 3/4 cup.

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper for flavor and season. For me, there were a lot of 2 teaspoons of salt and freshly ground black peppers, but I seasoned this soup to my taste.

Mix well and heat.

that’s it! I love how easy this soup is!

Lather the soup into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to the drizzle on top of each bowl. Top with cut-out fresh chives and extra black peppers.
