Slow Cooker Potato Leek Soup

Kelly Jensen
This Slow Cooker Potato Leek Soup Recipe is a rich and creamy soup that is loaded with bright spring leeks in a velvety flavorful broth. A fantastic recipe you can make ahead of time or meal prep for the week. I love serving this potato leek soup with easy homemade garlic knots, or a fresh chopped salad.  A fantastic vegetarian & dairy free dinner party dinner idea that is tasty, elegant, and will impress your guests.

Notes

A Note about Washing Leeks

Leeks grow in loose sandy soil  - make sure you wash every layer of your leeks before adding them to the crock pot!  The last thing you want is to get sand in your soup. I wash my leeks before and after I chop them to make sure I'm getting all the sand and dirt off.
