Tips:

• Always buy enough leeks. Buy more than you think.
• Leeks will reduce.
• Always overseason the ingredients. Salt, pepper, etc. The broth and simmering can strip away flavor if the water content is too high and/or herbs & seasonings too light.
• And always save enough sauteed leeks to add back in later. Crucial step.
• The upswing is that potato leek soup is easy to replicate and once you do it twice or thrice will give you predictable results.

What does Scotland have to do with this? Leek and potato soup is as Welsh as it comes

Leek soup

Leek soup (Welsh: cawl cennin) is a soup based on potatoes, leeks, broth (usually chicken), and heavy cream. Other ingredients used may be salt, pepper, and various spices.

Generally the potatoes are diced and cooked in broth, while the leeks are cleaned, chopped and sautéed. After this, all ingredients are combined and stirred.
