I'm making this soup right now It's very yummy. I made it to great acclaim last year when I had my friends over for corned beef and cabbage. →[More:]It's a lot less unhealthy than the standard variations of potato soup, too, since it uses broth instead of cream (well, I used cartons of stock instead of broth).
I don't know why they call it irish, though. I thought potato leek soup was traditionally a french thing...

I added a drop of food dye to mine... I had REALLY nice leeks and was able to use a lot of the green, which made it a really unappealing puce sort of color. Now it's kind of pea soup colored, which is odd but not gross. It's for a st. partricks dinner this weekend, so it fits.

The ingredients sound delicious. Thanks for sharing this, kelly. I think my husband would love this soup. I'm going to try it.

It's thick, I'm guessing, since you puree the potatoes. I need a thick potato soup. However, I also need chunks.

I'm thinking I may just use the ol' immersion blender in the pot and leave chunks.

very thick. that dent on the surface of the soup? it's where I took out the spoon.

I'd say it's the thickness of ketchup, maybe.

It's so super-easy. Literally, all you have to do is chop things up and toss them in the pan. The blending is the most labor intensive part. It's just time consuming (but most is of the wait until the timer beeps sort).
