Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir leeks, garlic, salt, and pepper in the hot butter until leeks are tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
- Stir chicken broth and cornstarch together in a bowl until cornstarch is dissolved; pour over the leek mixture. Add potatoes to the broth mixture and bring to a boil; season with onion powder and garlic powder. Reduce heat, add half-and-half to broth mixture, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat and blend soup using a hand blender until smooth; season with salt and pepper.

Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- For thicker sauce use heavy cream in place of half-and-half.
- I'd use salted butter, but don't add any more salt until the very end, to taste.

I used fresh chopped onion and 3 large cloves of garlic instead of the powder in the recipe. 1/2 teaspoon of salt and one teaspoon of finely ground pepper. Delicious.

Good soup! My wife absolutely loved it. She's a potato lover so instead of pureeing the soup with a hand blender I cut the potatoes into rustic bite sized chunks. Added to the texture of the s...

So great! I dont eat dairy, so I switched the butter to a plant oil base one, and the half and half to coconut cream. Made it super creamy! I might add more leek next time...
