Creamy vegetarian potato leek soup with peas and tarragon, made with vegetable broth.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 leeks (white and pale green parts only), thinly sliced
  • 5 pounds potato, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 quarts chicken broth
  • 3 cups frozen peas
  • 1 pinch dried tarragon
  • 3 cups milk
Instructions:
  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt butter until sizzling. Sauté leeks in the butter until tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine the potatoes and chicken broth with the leeks, bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, around 12 minutes.
  • Combine the vibrant peas and aromatic tarragon into the soup. Let it simmer until the peas are tender, around 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the soup to a blender, making sure not to fill the pitcher more than halfway.
  • Securely cover the blender lid with a towel and pulse a few times to kickstart the pureeing process. Continue to blend until smooth, working in batches if needed. Transfer the mixture to a clean pot or use a stick blender directly in the pot to achieve a creamy consistency.
  • Stir in milk to the pureed soup and simmer over medium heat until warm. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
