Instructions
-
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced leeks and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
-
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
-
Stir in the heavy cream and thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.
-
Ladle the Potato and Leek Soup into bowls and garnish each serving with chopped chives for a fresh and aromatic touch.
