Best Potato Leek Soup

Potato leek soup is a popular soup in Welsh and French cuisine. It's made up of mainly fresh potatoes and leeks.

And even though it's smooth and almost sauce-like in consistency, it's still hearty and filling since it is potatoes that build up the base of the soup (and they have a moderate amount of carbs, starchy fiber, and protein - specifically proteinase inhibitor 2).

It is similar to the typical potato soups found in the U.S. and elsewhere but rather it's pureed instead of chunky, and doesn't included meat. Plus it has a chicken broth base and not milk. Then another main difference is of course the use of leeks versus commonly found yellow onions.
