Notes

There’s something about a warm pot of soup simmering on the stove that instantly makes a home feel cozy.

Tips & Tricks

  • Blend before adding sausage – Keeps texture smooth and prevents over-blending the meat
  • Don’t boil after adding yogurt – Keeps it from curdling
  • Use an immersion blender – Easier and fewer dishes
  • Adjust thickness – Add more broth if too thick, simmer longer if too thin
  • Clean leeks well – Dirt loves to hide between the layers
  • Make it vegetarian – Skip sausage and use veggie broth + plant-based yogurt
