Potato Leek Soup


This is another reader-submitted recipe - thanks Caitlyn!  This soup is pretty easy to make and is light, yet filling. Recipe makes six large servings - enough for lunch and leftovers.

Ingredients:
  • 4 - 5 Medium Yukon Gold Potatoes, Peeled & Diced
  • 2 Leeks, Washed and Diced
  • 1 Tbsp. Light Olive Oil
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, Mashed
  • 4 - 5 Cups Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
  • 1 Tsp. Chili Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp. Pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp. Salt

Directions:
  • Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add leeks and sautee until leeks become translucent, stirring frequently (be careful they don't brown).
  • Add garlic and sautee for one minute.
  • Add potatoes, broth, salt, pepper, and chili powder, turn heat to high, and bring to a rapid boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and allow soup to simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool 5 - 10 minutes before serving.
