Potato Leek Chowder is a hearty and comforting soup that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is a classic combination of potatoes and leeks, which are cooked together to create a creamy and flavorful soup. The dish is easy to make and can be served as a main course or as a side dish.

To make Potato Leek Chowder, you will need the following ingredients:

- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 leeks, sliced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste

To start, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté until they are soft and translucent. Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it is smooth and creamy. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender, but be sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending.
After blending, return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the soup for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
The Potato Leek Chowder is now ready to serve. This dish is best served hot and garnished with fresh herbs or croutons. The soup has a creamy texture and a rich, savory flavor that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
