6 servings
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 large leeks (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1 ½ lb yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ tsp white pepper
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the leeks, onion, and 1 tsp kosher salt, stirring to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks and onion are completely softened and translucent but not browned, about 12–15 minutes.

Add the potatoes, chicken broth, and water. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer. Cook until the potatoes are completely tender and break apart easily when pressed against the side of the pot with a spoon, about 18–20 minutes.
