Recipe Tips
- The wine can be left out of the recipe if you don’t like using it. You don’t need to substitute it with anything.
- Make sure you wash the leeks before adding them to the slow cooker. Leeks can have a lot of dirt in between the leaves. You will also want to discard the dark green leafier part of the leak.
- You can thicken the soup using a cornstarch and water mixture. Alternatively, you can make it runnier by adding a bit more cream or chicken stock.
- A stick blender is ideal for blending the soup as you don’t need to remove anything from the slow cooker.
