This Chicken and Potato Soup with Leeks is everything you want on a cold day: warm, hearty, and comforting. Leeks, potatoes, and garlic create a savoury base when sauteed in chicken schmaltz. Layered on top of that is my flavourful homemade yoich with it's chicken and beef notes. Fresh thyme adds a brightness to the soup, which beautifully balances out the richness of the cream. This entire meal can easily be on your table under forty minutes if you use my yoich recipe, making it the perfect weeknight food on a chilly day.
