Perfect Potato Leek Soup (PLS) | Home Movies with Alison Roman

  • I am irrationally thrilled with this creamy Potato Leak Soup (PLS). It has so few ingredients that I feel like it has no right to be as delicious as it is. I attribute that mostly to the dill, of course, but also the Better Than Bouillion vegetable bouillion (I also love their chicken bouillon) and the small amount of vinegar at the end. It’s definitely heavy on the leeks which are not only great for flavor but also texture. Inspired by all the times I’ve eaten twice-cooked pork at a number of Szechuan restaurants (if you’re in Brooklyn, I love Authentic Szechuan Tofu of 5th Avenue), I wanted to use the whole leek, not just the white and light green parts (I often do this in my own cooking because I hate waste). Raw or briefly cooked, the darker stems are definitely tougher but simmered for a while with the potatoes, it cooks down into something perfectly tender without melting into nothingness.
    This soup is about as flexible as I get. Don’t have waxy potatoes? You can use russets. Before the sour cream is added, this soup is technically vegan, but it doesn’t have to be. Use butter instead of olive oil, chicken stock instead of vegetable broth. Yogurt instead of sour cream. Want to top with some crispy cured pork situation? Sure! This would also be excellent topped with smoked trout, sardines, or salmon. But, please, whatever you do, please don’t skip the dill. Nothing can replace the dill.

    MAKE THIS SOUP!!!!!!!!!! Please! I beg of every person who’s reading. It’s SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!! Although this is not a Polish soup recipe, with the potatoes and the dill... white wine vinegar... my husband walked in the kitchen and said it smells like a typical Polish kitchen! We both loved this!!! I was worried the green onion would overpower the dill, but it didn’t. I did everything just as directed with the exception of using part low sodium chicken broth and water and it was still super flavorful. Paired with homemade sourdough and it was the absolute perfect rainy day meal! Thank you for posting this recipe that I’ll be making for many many years to come! So grateful!

    I always buy a pack of 3 leeks from the supermarket here in England when the single ones have sold out, but only really need one for my version of Kinugasa Don so am left wondering how to use up the others as leek generally doesn't feature much in my cooking (unless I'm making a cauldron of Provencal style Minestrone). I love sour cream, potato and dill so I'm thrilled to have had this video recommended for me by The Algorithm. I could live on soup and very nearly do. This soup reminded me of Russian Pickle soup, so I know I'm going to love it. Thanks Alison for covering me this week: my husband's having a root canal in a few days so will only be willing to tackle food that he can slurp with ingredients 'that are so tender they're falling apart'. You made perfect sense to me, I'm THAT superfan!

I used one today by saving the nutrient rich water. If you steam in the microwave for example you may have a bit leftover and there is alot of flavor in that. Especially for soup, I think you want to conserve flavor. Beautiful human, here.
