Mushroom Potato Soup

Name: Mushroom Potato Soup
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 12 servings (3 quarts).
Ingredients: 2 medium leeks, sliced; 2 large carrots, sliced; 6 tablespoons butter, divided; 6 cups chicken broth; 5 cups diced peeled potatoes; 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 1 bay leaf; 1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms; 1/4 cup all-purpose flour; 1 cup heavy whipping cream

A buttery mushroom flavor blends with potatoes, leeks and carrots to make this soup hearty and warming. A big steaming bowl hits the spot on a cold fall day. Waxy red potatoes and all-purpose Yukon Golds hold together well in boiling water.

Ingredients

2 medium leeks, sliced
2 large carrots, sliced
6 tablespoons butter, divided
6 cups chicken broth
5 cups diced peeled potatoes
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 bay leaf
1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, saute leeks and carrots in 3 tablespoons butter for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in the broth, potatoes, dill, salt, pepper and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute mushrooms in remaining butter for 4-6 minutes or until tender. Discard bay leaf from soup. Stir in mushroom mixture.
In a small bowl, combine flour and cream until smooth; gradually stir into soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
