This is a basic Americanized version of potato-leek soup. If you want it "fully loaded," add some shredded cheese, chopped cooked bacon, and chives
I added 3 sliced carrots and 3 stalks of celery and sautéed with the leeks. I used 2% milk instead of fat free half and half. It’s delicious! Hubby approved too. I’ll definitely make this recipe again!

Great recipe. Wonderful suggestion about cooking extra (uncreamed)potatoes in strainer. Family loved it.
It was quick and easy. I would have used more leeks and more potatoes however as even after doubling the recipe, there could have been more. I did add 3 cloves of garlic as other Potato-Leek soups had garlic and it was good. Now I have one good recipe for my Instant Pot!
Yum! I stirred in 1/2 lb shredded Monterey Jack/ Colby into the mix after finishing the recipe. I like a little sauerkraut and Dark Rye bread on the side.
I used notes from reviews to double the recipe, add celery with the leeks, and use milk instead of heavy cream. A little garlic also adds some more flavor. It's great served with some crusty bread!
Please note the Capitol Hill seasoning is a mixture of Shallots, salt, pepper, dill weed, parsley, chives
