Steps:
- In a medium Dutch oven, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the potatoes, leeks and celery. Cook, stirring, until the leeks are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the chicken broth, thyme sprigs, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the thyme sprigs. Transfer about 4 cups of the soup to a blender. Remove the top insert from the lid and cover with a kitchen towel. Puree until smooth, 30 seconds. Add to Dutch oven with the remaining chunky soup. Stir in the cream and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until the soup is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat the butter in a large wide pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, leeks and onion and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and not browned, about 12 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high, pour in the wine and continue to cook, uncovered, until almost dry, about 4 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, bay leaf, thyme, 7 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, covered, until the potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
- Remove and discard the thyme and bay leaf. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and carefully puree until smooth, taking care not to fill the carafe more than half full per batch, or puree with an immersion blender in the pot. Reheat the soup over medium heat until steaming.
- Whisk in the cream and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, a drizzle of oil and a frizzled leeks or shallot if using.

AMAZING POTATO AND LEEK SOUP
I had my first run-in with Potato and Leek soup in Costa Rica and was hooked! I got this recipe from Emeril and it is as close to perfect as I can find (in my opinion). It takes a little while and has several ingredients...but it's worth the effort. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Tie 2 leek leaves, the bay leaves, peppercorns, and thyme into a piece of cheesecloth with kitchen twine to make a bouquet garni. (If you don't have cheesecloth, you can also use the 2 leek leaves as the cheesecloth and place the remaining bay leaves, peppercorns and thyme inside the leaves and tie them with kitchen twine).
- Halve the white part of the leek lengthwise and rinse very well under cold water to rid the leek of any sand. Slice thinly crosswise and set aside.
- In a large soup pot over medium heat, melt the butter and add bacon. Cook for 5 - 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is very soft and has rendered most of its fat.
- Add the chopped leeks and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
- Add the wine and bring to a boil.
- Add the bouquet garni, chicken stock, potatoes, salt and white pepper and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are falling apart and the soup is very flavorful.
- Remove the bouquet garni and, working in batches, puree the soup in a food processor or blender (you can also use an immersion blender if you have one).
- Stir in the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning to taste, if necessary.
- Serve immediately with snipped chives over the top.
- Enjoy!

HEARTY POTATO AND LEEK SOUP
This soup is really good in the fall, when the weather is turning cool. If you want to make it lighter, leave out the sausage and white beans. Prep time does not include soaking the beans overnight.

Steps:
- Wash and sort the beans the night before. Place them in a pot and cover them with 2 inches of water. Let them soak overnight (or all day if you are preparing for dinner).
- Pour the soaking water off the beans and then add water to cover by at least 1 1/2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- While the beans are cooking, trim the leaks and wash with cold water, being careful to wash away the dirt deep in the tops. Slice the leeks in half lengthwise and chop into 1 inch pieces.
- In a large stockpot melt the 6 tbsp butter and cook the leeks on medium-low heat until tender.
- Sprinkle the flour over the leeks. Cook for 2 minutes. Increase the heat to high and stir in the chicken stock.
- Add the potatoes, sliced sausage, cooked white beans, and creole seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes and beans are tender. Use a paper towel to absorb any grease from the sausages that has accumulated on the top of the stockpot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Taste first -- the sausage will add some salt to the soup) If desired, add the remaining stick of butter before serving. (I usually skip this).

Steps:
- Melt 50g butter in a heavy saucepan. When it foams, add 450g potatoes, cut into 1cm cubes, 1 small onion, cut the same as the potatoes, and 450g white parts of leeks, sliced and toss them in the butter until they are well coated.
- Season well with salt and freshly ground pepper and toss again. Put a disc of greaseproof paper (called a cartouche by chefs) on top of the vegetables to keep in the steam), then cover the pan with its lid.
- Cook over a gentle heat for 10 mins, or until the vegetables are soft but not coloured.
- Uncover the pan and discard the paper. Pour in 850ml of the light chicken or vegetable stock, bring to the boil and simmer until the vegetables are just cooked - about 5 minutes. Do not overcook or the soup will lose its fresh flavour.
- Purée in a blender until silky smooth, in batches if necessary, then taste and adjust the seasoning. Return the soup to a clean pan and stir in three quarters of a 142ml carton of whipping cream and 125ml full-fat milk.
- To finish the soup, finely shred the white part of 1 leek and gently cook it in a small knob of hot butter for a few mins until it is softened but not coloured.
- Reheat the soup to a gentle simmer (add some extra stock at this point if the soup is too thick for your liking), then pour into warmed bowls.
- Drizzle the remaining cream over each serving, top with a little pile of buttered leeks and a scattering of chives and black pepper and serve at once.

RED POTATO AND LEEK SOUP
I made this when we were travelling in Ireland the summer of 2013, and the locals thought it was pretty tasty. Since then, it's become a family staple. On a cold rainy day it is perfect, and I serve it with a salad made with baby lettuces, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic and some crusty fresh bread chunks.
