Leek and Potato Soup – French Fridays with Dorie Recipe

December 1, 2010 by susanelester 13 Comments

Leek and Potato Soup
Wow, I may actually be on top of things with French Fridays with Dorie this month!  It’s such a treat to cook in our new kitchen!  I just have to remember where I’ve put things…LOL!
I love this soup.  It’s really easy to make on a work night.  I did add Spinach for a little color and extra flavor.  Instead of Croutons, I made Crostini from Sourdough Bread which I brushed with Olive Oil, broiled on low until lightly toasted.  Then I turned them over and brushed them with Olive Oil, again, sprinkled them with Seasoned Salt, and topped them with Parmesan Cheese.  I put them back under the broiler until the cheese was melted and starting to bubble and brown.
I chose to use Chicken Broth and Whole Milk.  I whizzed the soup with an immersion blender, so enjoyed it smooth.  A really wonderful and satisfying treat on a chilly evening!
Bon Appetit!

    Fantastic presentation! I have yet to make these, but it sounds as though spinach was a delicious addition.

    I love the idea of adding spinach! It also makes the photo prettier :). This has been really fun to see how different people make the same recipe. I’ve gotten some great tips and creative ideas from reading all the posts. Thanks for sharing!

    Great idea of adding spinach! I also made the soup and everybody loved it, even my obstinate middle child who is not fond of onions:)
    I had to omit the croutons, because we’d get too full, and there was a lasagna afterwards, but your crostini look so good, that next time I’ll have to make them.

    Thank you all for your wonderful comments and encouragement! It’s so much fun seeing how we each interpret the recipes. I made “My Go-to Beef Daube” on Saturday – it was incredible!
