What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Potato leek soup is rooted in traditional European cookery, and you'll find many variations throughout the continent. In Wales, you'll find cawl cennin<\/em> while the dish is called soupe aux poireaux<\/em> or potage parmentier<\/em> in France. Eastern European recipes for potato soup often call for the addition of fresh dill. In most versions, you simmer leeks and potatoes in broth until tender and then pur\u00e9e them with cream which gives the soup a luxurious, velvety texture. Occasionally, cooks will add fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, to the soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this version, you'll add chopped fresh dill which brings an element of brightness to the comforting combination of leeks and potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What's in it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Potato leek soup typically contains only a handful of ingredients: butter, leeks, potatoes, broth, and cream. This version also contains dill. Since there are so few ingredients, the quality of each one matters as poor-quality broth or lackluster dill can strongly impact the final taste of the soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
