A very light and mild leek chowder. Great as a meal with French bread.

  • Increase heat to medium-high and add chicken broth, potatoes, dill, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.

  • Whisk half-and-half with flour in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.

  • Mash about half of the potatoes against the side of the pot using a fork for a creamy, chunky soup.

  • Stir flour mixture into the soup. Continue simmering until thickened, about 5 minutes.

As the recipe is written I think it would have turned out to be more like mashed potatoes than soup. Half a teaspoon of dill was too strong 1/4 tsp might taste better. I ended up using 4 cups of broth and 1 leek. Read More

This is a nice recipe however I suggest cooking the leeks and adding the flour to the leeks to cook off the raw taste of the flour for a few minutes before adding the broth etc... I had to use white skinned potatoes which were fine. I imagine that you could even use left over mashed potatoes to make this. It is very filling and makes for a good cool weather meal. Read More

Worked out very well. Used vegetable stock instead of chicken broth (to appease the vegetarian in the house) and used milk instead of half & half (because that's all I had in the fridge). Very good dish and my first use of leeks ever. Read More

I made this recipe and didn't like it. It was bland and I made it exactly as the recipe called for. I will not be making this one again. Read More
