Leek And Sweet Potato Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup dressing in Dutch oven on medium heat. Add leeks; cook 5 min. or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add potatoes, broth and pepper; stir. Cover; bring to boil. Simmer on medium-low heat 15 to 20 min. or until potatoes are tender. Cool 10 min.
• Blend leek mixture, in small batches, in blender until smooth, returning each puréed batch to Dutch oven.
• Stir in sour cream, milk and remaining dressing; cook on medium heat 3 to 5 min. or until heated through, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with chives.

Steps:

• Chop the leeks into small pieces.
• In a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and a heavy pinch of salt and sweat for 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook until the leeks are tender, approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the potatoes and the vegetable broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer until the potatoes are soft, approximately 45 minutes.
