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.

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...

Came out great, I made the same substitution as another reviewer. Doubled the garlic and added 1/2 a diced onion. I also omitted the cornstarch.
