    Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full method.

    The ingredients for potato and leek soup.
    • leeks - cut off the green part of the leeks and use the white section
    • onion - choose a brown or yellow onion
    • butter - unsalted or salted butter is fine to use in this recipe
    • garlic - mince your own cloves of fresh garlic or use pre-minced garlic in a jar
    • potatoes - for best results choose a variety of potato that is suitable for cooking and mashing (ie. brushed potatoes). Peel and chop into large chunks.
    • chicken stock liquid - use store-bought liquid chicken stock or make your own by mixing 1 teaspoon of powder stock through every 1 cup of water. Alternatively, you can use your own homemade chicken stock paste.
    • cream - choose a cream that is suitable for heating (like a cooking cream or a thickened cream).

    Step By Step Instructions

    Note: Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full method.

    Step 1 - Chop The Onion & Leeks

    Mix the leeks and halved onion until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally.

    Step 2 - Saute

    Add the butter and garlic and saute until soft.

    Step 3 - Add The Potatoes

    Add the potatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes.

    Potatoes peeled and chopped in a stainless jug.

    Step 4 - Cook

    Add the liquid chicken stock and season with salt and pepper.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT exceed the MAX line at any stage. Use less liquid stock if you are nearing the MAX line.

    Cook for 20 minutes. Remove the MC before cooking, but place the rice basket over the whole to catch any splatters.

    Allow the soup to cool slightly before pureeing (do not attempt to puree while the soup is very hot as this can be very dangerous).

    Add the cream and mix through gently.

    Serve with crispy bacon (optional).

    Expert Tips & FAQ

    What happens if I've reached the MAX line and still have extra stock to add?

    It's important that you never exceed the MAX line. If you're nearing the line, simply omit the excess liquid stock you have.

    Pureeing the soup

    Remove the lid and allow the soup to cool for a few minutes before replacing the lid and pureeing. Start off on Speed 1 before very slowly increasing to Speed 6. If the machine starts to shudder or shake, go back down to Speed 1 and increase ever so slightly.

    Storing

    Store this soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Freezing

    Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

      Great soup. I think I would omit the cream or lower as I’m an avid potatoe lover and lust for hearty potatoe taste. I did a taste test before cream and after and my buds told me the cream was a little to much however, I did put ginger in my mix, it was sensational winter warmer and next time I will try Chile and clove. Overall 4.9 stars loved it, easy, taste great. Thanks for the recipe. Neil

      Absolutely delicious comfort soup on a cold and wet day in Perth, I sautéed some diced bacon with the leek and onion and also added a carrot because I didn’t quite have the right amount of potato ☺️

      I love this amazing soup. So quick and easy and a big hit. I have made it more than once as a shared lunch option and everyone loves it.
      As I have vegetarian colleagues, I substitute the chicken stock for vegetable stock, and it still tastes amazing.

      I finally decided to comment on this recipe. Thank you Lucy for a great recipe. This has been a staple in our vegan diet which we substituted coconut cream instead of the cooking cream and vegetable stock. We only add shallots or parsley for garnishing and have it with Aldi Turkish bread.

      Absolutely lovely ? I added1/4 cauliflower with the potatoes plus one celery stalk, 1 carrot & half a sweet potato! Just because & the kids & hubby licked their bowls clean! I think the homemade chicken stock is a key ingredient flavour wise

      Just wondering can you cook it with the MC??

        Hi Emma, you'll need to remove the MC and place the rice basket on top instead. This allows the steam to escape but also stops splatters.

      Absolutely delicious.
      I added some shredded ham, at the end.....only because I had it left over from something else.
      Will definately cook again.
