For an even creamier texture, consider adding a small amount of heavy cream or crème fraîche after blending. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. A pinch of smoked paprika can also add a delightful depth of flavor. Ensure the leeks are thoroughly cleaned to remove any grit. The best way is to slice them and soak them in cold water before cooking. Yukon Gold potatoes provide a naturally creamy texture, but other varieties like Russet or red potatoes can also be used. This soup freezes beautifully. Allow it to cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers.
