I make this soup almost every week in the fall and winter . . . I've even made it for my in-laws and my MIL had seconds (that's very exciting around here!).
1 small yellow onion
1 large Leek or 2 small ones
1 box chicken stock or Vegetable stock (we use low sodium organic chicken stock from Trader Joe's)
1 small brown potato
1/8 tsp Dried Thyme
salt and pepper
Sooooo easy Sooooo good!
First dice the onion. Slice up the white part of the Leek and wash well.
Put a tbsp of oil in a pot and fry up the onions and Leeks, about 5 min. You just want them to get a bit of brown on them!
Add Thyme. Stir.
Add box of Stock.
Dice Potato. Add to pot.
Boil soup until potatoes are done . . . make sure they're really done!!!! This soup is ruined by under cooking the potatoes (I've done it, I know . . . p.s. Lee was really hungry that night and still ate it :)
Salt and Pepper to taste . . . I think it's best with a little extra salt (yes I know we used low sodium stock only to add extra salt . . . don't judge me ;)
Throw it all into a food processor and pulse until desired consistency!
Eat, Lick Pot Clean!!! DONE!
Yummy! I'm vegetarian and I love that this recipe can be made veggie. I also love easy recipes, haha! I'll have to try this soon. =) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi, the soup sounds yummy! How many bowls/ or servings is it? I have two kids (11 and 9) plus my husband. Would it be enough for all 4 of us?
ReplyDeletemmm
ReplyDeletethis sounds great!
but i have a question...how much in cups/liters is "one box of chicken stock"?
sorry...i don't live in America and i make chicken broth from scratch..!
Soup looks delish, can't wait to try it!!! You have a Trader Joe's in BC? I didn't think they were in Canada yet.
ReplyDeleteYum! Always love a good soup recipe. I made french onion soup last night and will share the recipe tomorrow...so yummy!!
ReplyDeleteI am making this soup right.now/ And by right now, I mean the recipe is open on my laptop and I just put the potato in. YUM! It smells so good! Thanks for the dinner inspiration...
ReplyDeleteYum yum yum and yum. I'll have to make it for a cold cozy night in.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious!!
ReplyDeleteDream Catcher- One box of Chicken Stock is one liter. I believe it's 946ml to be exact or just over 4 cups :)
ReplyDeleteMeena- There is no Trader Joe's in Canada, we live about 30 minutes from the Canadian/USA border so I hop across the border when I get the chance and always make sure to stop at Trader Joe's and Target :)
As far as servings go, it makes enough for Lee and myself but we are big eaters. Seriously, it's supposed to feed 4. If I had an 11yr old and a 9yr old I would probably double the recipe and then run it trough the food processor in two batches.
ReplyDeleteHope that helps!

Sounds good to me....although a bit hot here at the moment (37.1 degrees at 4pm in Brisbane) yesterday, today is a nicer 30 degrees. Will try this out in a few months time when it starts to get cool. Kathy A, Brisbane
