Potato leek soup, or potage parmentier, is a French classic. It’s an essential base soup in French cuisine. Add watercress to make potage au cresson, serve it chilled to make Vichyssoise, or top it with bacon, fried leeks, fresh herbs, or diced vegetables. There are endless variations – just use your imagination (or whatever you have in the kitchen) to make it your own. Potato leek soup is simple to make and can be served as an appetizer, a side dish alongside a sandwich or salad, or as a stand-alone lunch.

Try using chopped bacon to the onions and add a diced carrot to take the flavor closer to a German soup ending by topping with sausage to the finished hot soup
