Creamy Potato Leek Soup is a family favorite and makes an easy gluten free meal on a chilly night. This sow cooker soup takes almost no time and is so tasty after a long day.
I love this recipe because it truly is easy to pull together and makes a perfect comfort food dinner. Plus, even my non-soup eating daughter loves it. You can easily adapt this recipe to serve the size family you need to feed by adding or taking away a few potatoes. If you add 4-5, I would add another leek. Take a few away, leave everything else the same.
This recipe serves our family of 5 with leftovers for one person. This is simply not enough since the soup is just as good or better the next day so I double it. I also like to add green onions, sour cream, and cheddar to the top once it is finished. You could call it loaded baked potato soup if you want. Serve with a side of easy homemade garlic bread, substituting with gluten free bread as needed.
