Ingredients | Leek And Potato Soup Recipe

¼ cup butter

2 medium leeks, chopped

1 large onion, chopped

1 (32 ounce) carton Swanson® Chicken Broth

3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice

1 teaspoon curry powder

salt and pepper to taste

1 cup milk

1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled, diced

Directions

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in chopped leeks and onions; cook slowly until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.

Stir in Swanson® Chicken Broth; add potatoes. Season with curry powder; add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce temperature to low. Simmer 20 minutes.

Stir in milk; add shrimp. Heat until soup just starts to simmer again.

The recipe uses milk to keep the soup light, but substitute cream for the milk and you have a richness factor that adjusts the recipe from delicate to decadent.
