Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min
  1. 1

    Trim the leek, halve it lengthwise, rinse thoroughly to remove grit, then slice into 1/2-inch pieces; chop the potato.

  2. 2

    Combine the leek, potato, lentils, water, and vegetable broth in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and lentils are tender, about 20 minutes (do not add salt yet).

  3. 3

    Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender in the pot, or carefully in batches in a countertop blender. If you prefer a thinner consistency, stir in a little more water.

  4. 4

    Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve hot.
