The Simplest Leek Soup!

This recipe is inspired by French cuisine, not the famous French onion soup, but a simpler, everyday version that is just as delicious.

Ingredients for 6 servings:
🧅 300g leeks,
💧 2 liters of water or broth,
🥔 300g potatoes,
🌿 30g dill,
🥛 sour cream to taste for serving,
🧂 salt and pepper,
🧈 15g butter for frying,
🍃 2 bay leaves.

Recipe:
1. Use only the part of the leek below the split, thoroughly rinse, ensuring there's no soil between the rings, cut in half lengthwise, and thinly slice into half-moons.
2. In a heated pot on medium heat, sauté the leeks until soft, making sure they don't brown.
3. Dice the potatoes or cut them as you prefer for soup.
4. Transfer the leeks into a pot, add water/broth, bay leaves, potatoes, and cook for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are done.
5. Season with salt and pepper, add finely chopped dill, cook for a couple more minutes, then turn off the heat. Let the soup stand a bit (it's one of those soups that tastes even better the next day).
6. Serve with your favorite bread and a heaping tablespoon of sour cream.

Bon appétit!
