Potato and leek soup
Why they choose leek to use with potato in potato and leek soup? The answer is very simple as the smell as well as the taste of the leek is awesome, which is the best to use with tomato in the soup. To use it for making potato and leek soup, it will require a little time of working to make it to the best state to use. First, you will have to clean it, then just trim off the dark green leaves away from the surface and then cut it into half and you are done the first part. You should clean them again with water for about 2 or 3 times since there will be a lot of dust on the surface of the leek.
Now, after cleaning again, you can cut the halves into smaller, such as 1/2 inch or smaller, based on your interest. If you have some butter, it is a good time to use it on the leek now. Personally, we would like to use a lot of butter to have the great taste. But as we have said before, it is up to you all the time to choose the best way to create potato and leek soup so that you can replace butter with olive oil and you can use as much or as little as you can. After, cook the leek with small heat, don’t let it turn to brown too much, a little is enough. Once it is soft, you can use the water or add some ingredients as well as meat to the soup now. Usually, chicken is the best to use with potato and leek soup. You can add some potatoes which are peeled off and cleaned already along with some pieces of chicken into the pot now.
While the heat is on to heat up the pot, you should pour the pot regularly as well as taste it to add some ingredients. Sometimes, if it is too salty to eat, you can add some water in. our advice is that it is better is a lack of salt than the overuse of salt, because if you don’t have enough salt, you can add more while you have overused salt, you have to add water, which will affect the taste of your soup overall.
After the cooking is done, you can use your potato and leek soup with bread or rice. It is the best to use when it was still hot. If you need to use it for another day, keep it in the refrigerator.
