Chopped fresh chives, dill or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Ideal slow cooker size: 5-Quart.
Place the leeks, potatoes, garlic, broth, water, thyme, bay leaf, salt, pepper in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 - 4 hours, or until the potatoes and leeks are tender.
Remove the lid and partially blend using an immersion blender so that there are a few chunks of potato remaining. (Or mash with a potato masher or whizz in the blender if you prefer.)
Stir in ¾ of the smoked salmon and the milk. Serve in bowls and top with the remaining salmon and optional fresh herbs.
Recipe Notes
Variations:
dairy-free: skip the milk or substitute your preferred dairy free milk alternative
heartier: add more smoked salmon
no smoked salmon: substitute another smoked fish, such as trout, or leftover cooked salmon
more veg: chopped celery and carrot would be nice
smokier: add a teaspoon of smoked paprika
richer: substitute cream or sour cream for the milk
