Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cups leeks, chopped (2-3 large)
  • 4 cups chopped potatoes
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces smoked salmon, sliced
  • 1 cup milk
  • 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 3/4 of the smoked salmon and the milk. Serve in bowls and top with the remaining salmon and optional fresh herbs.
