Potato, Leek, and Pea Soup Recipe

Ingredients

This recipe was developed at its original yield. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain unchanged. Note that not all recipes scale perfectly.

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
• 5 pounds potato, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 quarts chicken broth
• 3 cups frozen peas
• 1 pinch dried tarragon
• 3 cups milk
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1: Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2: Add the leeks to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become tender (about 5 to 7 minutes).

Step 3: Stir in the sliced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 4: Add the peas and dried tarragon to the pot. Continue simmering for about 5 minutes, or until the peas are tender.

Step 5: Carefully pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Secure the lid with a towel to avoid splashes, and pulse the blender a few times to get the soup moving. Then, blend until smooth.

Step 6: Pour the pureed soup into a clean pot. If you prefer, you can use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot.

Step 7: Stir in the milk and bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat until heated through.

Step 8: Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
