For an extra layer of flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. It truly elevates the dish! If you prefer a completely smooth soup, you can puree the entire batch. Just be cautious when blending hot liquids. A swirl of crème fraîche or a drizzle of truffle oil makes an elegant finishing touch.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
9 mins
In a Dutch oven, heat the grapeseed oil and butter over medium heat. Add the potatoes, leeks, and celery, and cook until the leeks are tender, stirring occasionally (approximately 8 minutes). Introduce the garlic and cook until its fragrance fills the air (about 1 minute).
02
Step
16 mins
Stir in the chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cover the Dutch oven and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, uncover, and cook until the potatoes yield to the touch (approximately 15 minutes).
03
Step
2 mins
Carefully transfer about 4 cups of the soup into a blender. To prevent splattering, remove the top insert of the blender lid and cover the opening with a paper towel. Puree until the soup achieves a silky-smooth consistency. Return the pureed soup to the Dutch oven.
04
Step
13 mins
Gently stir in the heavy cream and cook over medium-low heat until the soup thickens slightly, allowing the flavors to meld together (approximately 10-15 minutes). Ladle the soup into bowls and crown each serving with crumbled bacon.
