Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
1/4 cup Butter
2 Leeks
1 Onion
1 cup White mushrooms
1 clove Garlic
1/4 cup All-purpose flour
2 cups Condensed chicken broth
2 1/2 cups Beef broth
6 cups Water
2 cups Gouda cheese
Edam cheese

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Vegetables: In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped leeks, mushrooms, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for approximately 5 minutes until vegetables are softened and fragrant.

  2. Thicken the Base: Remove the saucepan from heat. Sprinkle the cooked vegetables with all-purpose flour and stir until well combined.

  3. Add Broth and Water: Gradually pour in the condensed chicken broth, beef broth, and water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

  4. Simmer: Return the saucepan to medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it comes to a gentle boil and thickens to a creamy consistency.

  5. Cook Until Tender: Reduce the heat to low and simmer the soup, covered, for approximately 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and fully cooked.

  6. Blend: Using a blender, purée the soup in batches until smooth and creamy. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

  7. Season: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preference.

  8. Prepare for Serving: Ladle the creamy soup into 6 ovenproof soup bowls.

  9. Toast and Cheese Topping: Place 3 pieces of toast on top of each bowl of soup. Sprinkle grated Gouda cheese generously over the toast.

  10. Broil: Preheat your broiler. Place the soup bowls on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 4 minutes.

  11. Serve: Carefully remove the soup bowls from the broiler and serve the Creamy Leek and Gouda Soup immediately, savoring the delicious melding of flavors and textures.

Indulge in the luxurious creaminess of this soup, with its harmonious blend of leeks, mushrooms, and Gouda cheese, creating a comforting culinary experience that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the warmth and satisfaction of homemade goodness with each spoonful of this delightful soup!
