The weather is turning cooler in our area, so this past weekend I decided it was a perfect time to make homemade delicious Leek and Potato Soup! Creamy Leek and Potato Soup Recipe (with pumpkin seed and sour cream topping - yum!) It's the ultimate comfort food for lunch or dinner! So hearty and filling... Your whole family will love it! www.settingforfour.comHomemade Leek and Potato Soup Recipe

This delicious recipe is perfect for fall, winter and as a starter for Thanksgiving!

 This is a family favorite recipe and very easy to make with only 6 ingredients!

If you’re not familiar with leeks – they are vegetables that look like oversize green onions… and if you have never cooked with them you will be in for a yummy surprise at how delicious they are!

 Especially when cooked in a bit of butter, simmered with potatoes and chicken broth and served with a dollop of sour cream. Mmmmm!

So what the heck are Leeks you may be asking??? Leeks belong to the same family as onions and have a mild onion-like taste, but have a very subtle flavor.  But unlike onions, they don’t make your eyes tear when you cut them or cook with them!

To serve: garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt and top with pumpkin seeds.

Kitchen Supplies:

Food Processor – this one is recommended #1 by Americas Test Kitchen!

Large Non Stick Stockpot with lid

White Soup Bowls – I love these beautiful white, stackable porcelain bowls

Pumpkin shaped stoneware soup bowls with lids – perfect for Thanksgiving and fall!

    Yummy! I’m actually planning on making this recipe this Friday! It’s a treat for me because it’s delicious, and I’m making it even though I’m going to get complaints that soup isn’t “real dinner”. But the leftovers for lunch the next day are always a big hit for some reason…. Thanks for sharing your own recipe!
