Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil2 leeks, white and light green parts washed and sliced into 1/4-inch slices2 cups chopped yellow onion1/2 teaspoon sea salt3 cloves garlic, minced2 large Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cubed into 1/2-inch cubes4 cups vegetable stock2-3 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves
Directions
1. Heat a 4-quart soup pot over medium heat and add the oil.

2. Add the leeks, onion, and sea salt and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the onion begins to turn translucent.

3. Add the garlic and stir well. Cook for 1 minute more.

4. Add the potatoes and vegetable stock, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook 20 minutes.

5. Remove the soup from the heat and use an immersion/stick blender to blend the soup in the pot or ladle the soup into a blender, 1 cup at a time. Blend the soup with the fresh rosemary leaves until smooth and free of chunks. Pour smooth soup into a heat-proof bowl and continue until all of the soup has been blended.

6. Transfer the blended soup back to the original soup pot and warm over low heat until heated through. Serve hot.

Serves 4 - 6. (I got 5 servings, using a ladle- two scoups each)

    Very easy and delicious. I didn't make any real substitutions just added a few more spices and vegetables. - 2/25/20

    The soup will naturally cook down into a soupy texture, the blender is not needed unless you are feeding it to somebody with no teeth. It is yummy! - 11/3/19

    I didn't mash, blend or otherwise mangle the potatoes.Cooked well and they fall apart all by themselves. Good soup. - 5/6/19

    Good flavor, easy to follow. I did not puree it up, I left everything whole and chunky and added a little bit of celery. - 1/28/18

    Pretty easy and very yummy! I love potato leek soup. This is even vegan/vegetarian and mostly "clean". Nice change of soup/stew for the winter. I substituted Vidalia/sweet onion and no Rosemary leaf. Didn't have one. 😉 Was wonderful! 👍 - 2/8/16

    Yum! Easy to make and flavorful. It's good to invest $30 in an immersion blender. The rosemary smells like a cool fall day. - 9/27/15

    I was looking for a good potato soup to replace my oh-so-unhealthy one. This was delishous! Husband and I both raved. I can't wait to share it with my daughter when she visits in the fall. - 8/4/10
