I use the whole leek (being Welsh). The way I clean one is to put the point of the knife at the end with the beardy bit and make a whole length cut. Turn the leek over and make another lengthways cut. This opens up the layers and you can run it under the tap and clean it more effectively. Then dice as normal. Doing it this way gives you more leek and adds bulk.

xfilion exactly! I also use wild Garlic when it’s available (I live in North Wales, so it’s easy to find growing wild - just follow your nose!)..... can’t beat Leek & Potato soup...... with cheese croutons and some crusty farmhouse bread. You could add a little cream to stir into each bowl of soup at the end. Wish I hadn’t watched this at 11:30 pm, ‘cause now I’m hungry!

I use the whole leek too, not going to waste. I just cut up the greener parts smaller.
Way better recipe is. 2 Leeks. 2 Medium size onion. 5 Medium size potato. Cook the leek and onions in butter until translucent on low/medium heath. Then add the potatoes and let it cook for a few minutes. Add chicken stock to cover, and let it simmer until everything is soft. Mix it, add salt, white pepper to taste and finally add half a cup of heavy cream and let it come to a simmer, stir and eat with with buttered bread and a good cheese.

Instead of putting margarine in the pot after the leeks, cook one or two strips of bacon in the pot nice and crispy then sautée your leeks in the bacon.

You want to gently sweat the leeks with out browning or introducing any fond to them. You could cook the bacon and deglaze with stock, separate from the leeks.

Made this for my mom when she needed some love and healing and she absolutely loved it!! amazing recipe!
I've made this many times and love it so much! But the best way to clean your leeks is to slice them up into a big bowl of clean water and swish them around first. Then let everything settle for a few minutes (up to half an hour). The sliced veggy will all float on the top, with all the dirt and grim settled on the bottom of the bowl. It's easy: just skim the clean slices off the surface of the water, and drain in a colander. :)

Ingredients : 2 potatoes 2 Leeks Butter Chicken Broth Splash of worcester sauce Garnish with parsley and a few diced tater tots
Great, easy recipe! It was delicious! I did the tots and all. I used organic Leeks and they were quite clean. I also left the skin on my potatoes. It turned out fabulous! Thanks for the recipe!
Immersion blender. I use a Bamix which comes from Sweeden. It is great for blending or pureeing soups in the pot.
Sam, I love your cooking stye and very clever to add tater tots for the crunch. My compliments to the cameraman who caught the right angles and lighting.
Thanx Sam cooked this earlier it was delicious. The wife and me send our love and respect from England UK ❤
I like your out of the box style. Nice touch with the tots...
Been looking for a good recipe!!!! Thank you! ❤️

Oh man I made this Potato Leek Soup today because I’m from a place right on the arse end of the U.K. Map called Lowestoft the Most Easterly Point of the U.K.! It’s absolutely Freezing here and we were all freezing are arses off so I decided enough is enough and made this Soup the same way as how you have made it on here and oh my Lordy lord it was amazing! So comforting so warm and perfect when your sitting at home bored whilst all this outbreak is going on! I love watching your cooking videos because not only are you a great laugh you cook such amazing tasty food which makes me drool like a puppy lol! All the best dude stay safe and well love to yourself Mat the camera man the dog and all the family! X

We love watching you! I look forward to making this! Y’all ( you, Max & Louis ) are the best and so hilarious 🤣
I made this today, I find it very hard to believe just how easy it is or how fantastic it tastes! Thanks for sharing.
Instead of Worcestershire we add a scoop of sour cream. We also reserve 1 potato to cut into cubes and add after the rest of the soup is blended. White pepper can be used as well as a pinch of cayenne. Haven't tried the tater tots but that sounds wonderful!
Homemade croutons will do in place of the tots and fresh grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese heaven on earth .Thanks Sam I came across your channel because this is the first time actually I am cooking leeks I surf the Internet and after few videos on KZread yours was the best from the start to the end my dear don't listen to the people who they have no sense of humor . I don't think you are aggressive . I think you are real and I love real ppl be yourself seening you two father and son bonding over cooking is awesome because our society kept us close minded we always have idea of the girls being taught how to cook with their mother or their grandmother to prepare to cook for her husband gender role .Keep on cooking THANK YOU for the video 😍🙏👍👋

Sam while cutting the potatoes : Hey Leek! What are you still doing there? Leek: Leave me alone I am taking a leak 😁🤣
This dude's entire house is a pantry. No bacon, no cheese, no bueno.
Less is more, i love how you dont add a ton of ingredients keeping the flavor of the leeks. Tater Tots !!! Genius!! Ty Sam!!
Just made and it was lush, thank you.
Follow this recipe almost to the tee except I had to use a little "Better Than Bullion" and water for a bit more liquid. It was so Great!!! Thank You Sam!!!
What are potato tots.? There are lots of things to add: green onion tops shredded, chives, spiced cubed bread for crunch, whipping cream. Tots are little kids learning to walk (totter, get it? )so potato tots must be the tiny baby potaoes you get when digging up your spuds in the garden. Nice kitchen, great soup and leeks are so easy to grow and so expensive. One of my favorites.
This soup was so good! Absolutely ingenious to add the tater tots. I love you and the kiddos.

Leeks, Allium ampeloprasum. The genus Allium also contains the onion, garlic, shallot, scallion, chive, and Chinese onion.

I used to watch Just Cook This all the time, so nice to see your face again and that you have a KZread channel! I'm subscribed and thanks for this recipe bc it's dinner tonight!
I like your take of adding crunch to the soup. I'm going to try tater tots next timeI make the soup. I always finish mine off with whipping cream, and i use chives as well.
I do it in my Instant Pot, love it.
I really enjoyed this video! Loved the added touch of potato crunch on top! You got yourself a new subscriber 😘
YOOOO I made this with my new soup maker and with the tater tots. It’s guuuuuuuuuuud 😋
Another winner...thank you chef. Really liked the garnishes
😆🤣😂 ROTFL at the "we blend" movement and moment of recognition. 👏🏻👏🏻
Just had this for dinner. Excellent. Couldn’t compliment this recipe enough!
WOW! Looks great!! Will try it! Thanks.
Nice to see someone who doesn't ruin it by adding ham.
He’s funny! I’m excited to try this and it has simple ingredients. Thank you!
Aaaa Sam, way to grab me right at the end with those tots! Good on ya! 🤙🏽
Thanks Sam!!! Mouth watering especially throwing in the tats
Nice and Easy the way I love it!... Even a guy can make this soup... 👍
I made this today. So yummy. Thank you for the recipe and compliments to your camera man. He has all the patience in the world.

ha. that was fun. heard someone mention this and found your recipe guide. will most certainly try this. Thanks guys
Holy leak-ville.. Who needs this? Just add butter..
Beautiful kitchen!!
What??? No gall-ik?? Say it ain't so Sam... Simple and easy...thanks dude.
I am new to your channel, Sam, but man do I love your sense of humor. I am sorry other people see it as rude or anything else. You crack me up.
Yum! Thanks!
Thank God this chef isn’t a family member!
Great idea about tater tots! Will try
TOTS! I love it.
most of the leek grows underground - just the green part sticks out :)
needs a splash of white wine and some cream - beautiful demo of a delicious soup!
I WOULD LOVE for you to explain how dirt "works it way up" the roots period, let alone into the layers of the leek.

Or a natural Romaine lettuce -- before it is de-nuded of the floppy outer leaves, and squeezed into a tight plastic bag for "3 Romaine ♡s"??? THEY ARE FULL OF DIRT, and sometimes a "hitch-hiker" or two! Leeks NEED TO BE WASHED WELL!

I love potato leek soup and been meaning to find me a good recipes!
Looks tasty! only thing i would change would be instead tator tots, I'd use croutons and I wouodnt have blended it as much a few lil chunks od potatoes and string of leaks would make it perfect ! Good job Sammy
Uh you need to revisit this soup. No bacon in it or ham and skip the blender step
Stay focus dude
I could eat and enjoy that right now!
I always add mustard. And the most flavor is in the dark green part of the leek, I slice it all the way from top to bottom and then I wash it. Oh yes and instead of using chicken broth with a soup that consists of vegetables ..... vegetable broth. It's swearing in church my grandma used to say. Vegetable broth with vegetables, and meat broth with meat. Onion broth and mushroom broth can go with everything.
The white & light green part of the leek are in the “dirt”, not just the roots. If only the roots were in the ground then it would all be the darker green.
loved your entertaining personality and loved the recepie
I'll make my leek and spud soup how I damn well like ,Sam the grouch. Hurrah for Butter!
We season with a little fresh grated nutmeg and a dolup of creme fresh or sour cream.. Maybe give it a try that way?
I just want to let you know you have a beautiful kitchen.

Ah luv ya man that is Yum yum yummy I am totally doing that tonight - Too full for dinner but I can totally do Leek soup or imitation leek soup shallot & onion is totally a leek replacement but yeah that soup recipe looks like the bomb!
A little bon- bon! Next time, put more broth and heavy cream!
Like the recipe- I'd do it like you did/w/tater tots, but I'd add instead of chives, fresh dill and a sprinkling (definitely a sprinkling) of "Hot Hungarian Paprika". to the soup.
