Ingredients

  • 3 large leeks (or 1 cup ramps), sliced
  • 1 ½ pounds new potatoes, cleaned and quartered (about ½-inch pieces)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup fresh dill, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Slice leeks into coins. In a medium-sized stock pot, saute leeks in olive oil until they soften and begin to brown. Add garlic and stir until fragrant. Add all remaining ingredients except the fresh dill.
  2. Bring to a simmer and stir occasionally until potatoes begin to soften (about 15 minutes).
  3. Use an immersion blender to blend until slightly thickened but still chunky. Alternately, carefully pour about half the soup into a regular blender and blend until thick, then return to pot.
  4. Season to taste. Garnish generously with fresh dill.
