Instructions
- Step 1:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until softened but not browned, about 7 minutes.
- Step 2:
- Add the diced potatoes and stir to coat. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes.
- Step 3:
- Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender (or working in batches with a countertop blender), puree the soup until completely smooth.
- Step 4:
- Stir in the milk or cream. Return the soup to gentle heat and warm through, but do not boil. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
- Step 5:
- Ladle into bowls, garnish with chives and a swirl of cream if desired. Serve hot.
