4 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 large leeks, thinly cut into half moon
  • 2 cups white onions, finely chopped
  • 8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 5 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh tarragon, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Directions

  1. 1
    In a Dutch oven over medium heat, melt butter. Add leeks and onion; cook until translucent about 15 minutes. Add potatoes, broth, freshly ground black pepper, sea salt, tarragon, basil and lemon juice. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer; cook for 30 minutes.
  2. 2
    When time is up, turn off the heat, give a good stir and let it cool off a bit before pureeing with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in heavy cream and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer the soup to a large bowl and cover with wax paper. When cool enough cover with a lid (leave the wax paper to prevent skin formation) and transfer to the refrigerator for 24 hours or until chilled.
  3. 3
    Just before serving, add a dollop of sour cream garnish with crumbled cooked bacon and fresh chives.
  4. 4
    Note: Submerge peeled potatoes in cold water to prevent from browning.
