The Field's famous potato leek soup recreates the restaurant classic with perfectly balanced flavor and texture. Sweet leeks and onions provide aromatic depth, while fresh herbs add brightness to the velvety potato base. The recipe offers options for creating your ideal consistency—leave chunky for rustic charm or puree for elegant smoothness. Adding cream transforms it into a luxurious meal worthy of special occasions, while the vibrant garnish of fresh parsley and chives adds the perfect finishing touch.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 large leeks, thoroughly washed and diced
2 large onions, chopped
3 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 carrots, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 quarts chicken broth
GARNISH
8 stallions, finely chopped
1/4 cup of fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions

Heat oil in kettle or Dutch oven at medium heat.
Add leeks and onions.
Sauté for 5 minutes or until softened but not browned.
Add potatoes, carrots, parsley, dill, garlic salt pepper and chicken broth.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
Cover and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
For thicker soup, puree one cup of vegetables and mix together with the soup.
For a creamier soup, add 2 cups of milk or 2 cups of cream.
Continue to heat until desired consistency is reached.

Garnish with green onions and fresh parsley.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
