The magic of transforming water by simmering russet potatoes and leek. You have my ❤️Julia Child.  I discovered this incredible soup when I lived in France; it is still an absolute staple in my home.

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts water

  • 3-4 cups peeled, diced potato

  • 3 cups thoroughly washed, chopped leek (to pale green)

  • 1 tbsp salt

Directions

  • In a stock pot, bring all ingredients to a simmer.

  • Partially cover and allow to simmer 40-50 mins.

  • With an immersion blender, blend to smooth (I leave a few chunks of potato).

  • Ladle into bowls, a pat of grass fed butter and a little fresh pepper.
