Ingredients
- 2- to 4-qt vegetable stock or broth, divided
- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 2 oz dry white wine
- 8 large yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 tsp sea salt, plus additional to taste
- Fresh parsley or dill, optional
Preparation
- In a large pot, bring 2 qt stock to a simmer.
- In a large saucepan, heat oil on low. Add leeks and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft but not colored, about 7 minutes. Stir in wine and cook until liquid evaporates.
- Add hot stock and potatoes to leeks. Simmer until potatoes are softened, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
