A warm and comforting bowl of soup combining earthy potatoes and leeks with creamy skyr, perfect for cozy nights or light lunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large white onion
  • 1½ pounds leeks (trimmed and sliced – white and light green part only)
  • 1½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and chopped)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ cup skyr (plus more for topping)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chives (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot and cook sliced leeks and onion for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until soft.
  2. Add chopped potatoes, vegetable broth, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  3. Turn off heat and mix in skyr. Blend the soup until creamy using an immersion blender or a regular blender.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider roasting the potatoes before adding them to the soup. Make sure to wash the leeks well to remove any grit.
