Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup olive oil, divided
2 leeks, chopped
1 (32 fluid ounce) container vegetable broth
1 ¾ cups water
2 pounds potatoes, cut into cubes
⅜ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat. Cook and stir leeks in hot oil until completely softened, adding remaining olive oil in small amounts as you cook the leeks, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour vegetable broth and water into the pot; add potatoes. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the potatoes are completely tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Pour potato mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Stir cayenne pepper and salt into the soup.
