Submitted by Nimisha R. Serves 6
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups diced onion
- 2 leeks, thoroughly washed & sliced (white & light green parts only)
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (4 cups)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 6 cups water
- 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

- 3 Tbsp parsley or chives for garnish
Directions
1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the onions and leeks, and cook until they are translucent.
3. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Add the potatoes and thyme, cover everything with the water, bring to a boil and lower the heat, simmering until the potatoes soft, about 20 minutes.
5. Add lemon juice and puree with hand blender until smooth.

Notes: If you want a white soup, use only the white part of the leeks. Soup will be thick. Can thin down with water, adjust seasonings for extra water.
