Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes Soup Recipes Cream Soup Recipes Potato Leek Soup Recipes Easy Potato and Leek Soup 4.5 (170) 139 Reviews 9 Photos A quick and easy soup that tastes great. I like to take a potato masher and roughly mash some of the potatoes. This helps to thicken the soup. I also like to use seasoned chicken broth. You can use heavy cream or half-and-half, depending on how rich you want the soup to be. Recipe by Michele Hodge Updated on July 14, 2022 Save Saved!
