  • Add leeks, celery and garlic and fry for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer the onion-leek mixture to the large cooking pot.
  • Add chicken broth, bring to boil, reduce heat and cook for about 3 minutes.

  • Bring the soup to boil, reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a food processor or blender, puree soup in batches until smooth and return to the cooking pot. You may also use an immersion blender.

  1. Very nice! I had to use 1% milk and only half a cup of 18% cream as that was all I had in the fridge, but it still made for a deliciously creamy soup.
