Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice.

The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Instructions

Peel thick skinned potatoes or if using a thin skinned potato like Yukon Gold omit the skinning step. Dice up the potatoes so they cook easily. Trim the green portions of the leek reserving about 1/3 to chop and include in the soup. Halve the white part of the leek lengthwise and rinse well. Make sure all the sand is removed! No one wants a gritty soup. Slice the keeps thinly and set aside with the chopped leek greens. Peel and finely chop both the garlic and the shallots. In a 5 qt. dutch oven or large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks, garlic, shallot, red pepper flakes, and white pepper to the butter. Cook until soft. Add the wine and bring to a boil for about 3 min. Add chicken stock and potatoes. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender. Allow soup to cool before pureeing in the blender. In small batches puree the soup in a food processor or blender. Run the processed soup though a strainer to remove any chunks no blended. Return the soup to a pan to reheat. Once reheated, stir in cream and adjust the seasoning. I reserve a little cream to drizzle in the middle of the bowl right before serving.
