What You’ll Need to Make the Roasted Potato and Leek Soup
If you want to make the Large Family Roasted Potato and Leek Soup, you’re going to need these ingredients:
- Potatoes. Make sure you have at least three large potatoes for this creamy soup.
- Leeks. Wash your leeks and remove the dark parts before you use them.
- Yellow Onion. Dice your yellow onion into pieces.
- Light Cream. Give this soup a creamier consister by adding light cream as a key ingredient.
- Minced Garlic. Use fresh garlic cloves and mince the garlic into pieces to enhance the flavor of the soup.
Besides these ingredients, you’ll also need salt, pepper, chives, vegetable broth, and butter. You can add a bit of cayenne pepper to the soup if you’d like to make it a bit spicy.
Which potatoes do I need to use?
You know I usually just use what I have on hand. I like to grab things on a good deal and make good use of them. So I would say use whatever you have on hand. You might even try sweet potatoes if that’s what you have. Make sure you’re using six large potatoes no matter what to have plenty of potato pieces in this creamy and flavorful soup.
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Butter will give this soup an even greater taste. It goes with potatoes, leeks, cream, and various other ingredients. If you only have margarine, you can use it, but it’s better to use butter when preparing the Large Family Roasted Potato and Leek Soup.
Do I need to use fresh chives for this soup?
You can use fresh chives or dried chives, whichever you have available or prefer. While fresh is always good, it’s fine to use dried chives in the soup recipe.
Which toppings taste best with this soup?
Some of the best toppings to add to the soup include shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled pieces of bacon. If you don’t feel like cooking bacon to crumble it and add it to the soup, you can always use bacon bits on top of the soup with the cheese. Some people like to add diced jalapenos on top to give it a bit of a kick. If you like spicy foods, you might want to try it!
What can I serve with the Roasted Potato and Leek Soup?
You can serve the Roasted Potato and Leek Soup with a side of fresh-baked bread. The crispy coating of the bread tastes even better when dipped into the soup. You might also want to serve this soup with a fresh salad.
