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.
- Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, buttermilk, and white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately, or chill and serve cold.
IRRESISTIBLE FRENCH POTATO AND LEEK SOUP
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Trim and discard the green tops and root ends of the leeks. Halve the leeks lengthwise and swish the stalks thoroughly in cold water to remove dirt and sand. If desired, rinse the stalks under running water as well.
- Drain the leeks, dry with a paper towel, and slice into thin, even strips .
- Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté them until tender but not browned. This should take about 4 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, chicken stock, bouquet garni, salt, and pepper, and bring the soup to a simmer.
- Cook the soup for 25 to 30 minutes, until the vegetables are very tender. To check the potatoes, poke one with a paring knife: If the knife cuts through with little resistance, remove the pan from heat.
- Put aside a few leeks for garnish. Remove and discard the bouquet garni.
- Puree the soup until smooth and silky using a blender , food processor, or immersion blender. Do this in small batches, to avoid splatters and burns.
- Carefully transfer the hot potato and leek soup back to the saucepan and stir in the heavy cream.
- Gently heat the soup-avoid boiling it as high temperatures could curdle the cream.
- Garnish with reserved leeks and serve immediately with a side of crusty bread or a sandwich. Or, if desired, chill the soup in the refrigerator and serve it in the traditional French style.

CLASSIC FRENCH POTATO LEEK SOUP (CAN BE MADE VEGAN!)
Also called "Potage Parmentier" I got this from an old Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery. I have a special attatchment to this recipe because it was the very first cookbook recipe that I prepared all on my own when I was 14. Here's the vegan version that is just as much of a masterpiece as the original.
