Potato & Leek Soup with Leek & Garlic Seasoning
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces diced ham
- 3 tablespoons Lesley Elizabeth Leek & Garlic Seasoning
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 4 red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions:
- In a large soup pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the Leek & Garlic Seasoning and chopped celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the celery begins to soften and the seasoning becomes aromatic.
- Add diced ham, cubed red potatoes, chicken broth, water, and salt & pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook until potatoes are tender.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in evaporated milk for a rich, creamy texture.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the soup and cook until the soup thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in chopped fresh parsley just before serving and ladle into bowls while hot.
Serving Tips:
- Pair with warm crusty bread or garlic toast for a complete meal.
- Top with shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream for extra richness.
- Make it vegetarian by omitting ham and using vegetable broth.
