Ingredients
Soup
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, washed well and chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ tsp. thyme
  • ½ tsp. salt + more to taste
  • ¼ tsp. ground black pepper
Everything Bagel Croutons
  • 2 everything bagels, sliced into cubes
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tsp. garlic salt
  • 2 tsp. everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
  1. Melt butter in a large pot. Add leeks, onion, and garlic and cook until tender.
  2. Add potatoes, broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. While the soup is cooking, make your croutons. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spread the bagel cubes on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic salt and everything bagel seasoning. Toss with your hands to combine and bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Once the potatoes in the soup are tender, use an immersion blender to blend the soup just until smooth, or transfer to a high speed blender.
  5. Once the mixture is blended, heat the soup over medium heat. Add the cream and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. Serve topped with your homemade everything bagel croutons.
  7. Enjoy!
