Precautions
Immersion blenders are great conveniences because you dont need to dirty
the blenderthe immersion blender can just be rinsed offand theres no transferring of hot liquids from one container to another. If youre pureeing hot soup in
a regular blender, never fill the blender more than half full. Hold the lid on tightly
with a kitchen towel and start by pulsing on the lowest speed. Gradually increase
the duration and speed of the pulses until the air inside the blender has heated up
and no longer threatens to burst out the top.

If you are making a pureed soup, thinly slice the Yukon Gold potato lengthwise. If you are
making a chunky soup, cut the waxy potato into 1/3-inch dice. In a pot, combine the
potatoes, leeks, and milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for about 25 minutes, or
until the potatoes and leeks are completely soft.
If you are serving a chunky soup, add the cream, bring to a simmer, and season with
salt and pepper. Or, if using butter, cut the butter into pats and place a pat on each serving.

If you are serving a smooth soup, puree it with a blender (see precautions) and then
strain it into a clean pot. Add the cream, bring to a simmer, and season with salt and
pepper. Or, if using butter, cut the butter into pats and place a pat on each serving.
