Leek and Potato Soup

Around My French Table

Dorie calls this "leek and potato soup, smooth or chunky, hot or cold" -- we chose smooth and hot, though I did try it smooth and cold the next day. I think hot was the right choice for us, but the rest of my family would probably have preferred chunky.

I do highly recommend topping it with some croutons and chives or green onions for a bit of crunch. The truffle oil was also a good idea, if you like it. Don't go light with the salt! Potatoes need salt, at least to me, and this is such a simple recipe, you really need enough salt.

If you're looking for an American-style baked potato soup, this is not that. (Though, I did doctor up some of the leftovers to make it more like that, since I started to crave it after trying this potato soup.) It's lighter and milder, but still delicious!
