Loaded Potato-Leek Soup
When I was a child, my mother made potato and onion soup because it was affordable and fast. I’ve trimmed the calories, but it’s still a comforting family favorite. —Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas

1Finely chop white portion of leek. Cut leek greens into thin strips; reserve for topping. In a 3- or 4-qt. slow cooker, combine potatoes, cauliflowerets, seasonings, broth and chopped leek. Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until vegetables are tender.

2In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add reserved leek greens; cook 3-5 minutes. Puree soup using an immersion blender. Or cool soup slightly and puree in batches in a blender. Stir in lemon juice. Top with leek greens and, if desired, sour cream.
