Jacques's basic leek and potato soup from Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home by Jacques Pépin and Julia Child

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I was expecting more leek flavor and surprised by the combination of leek + onions in this recipe. And there really is no seasoning other than salt and pepper, which I'm sure can be so simple - but I'll use more next time. Then the color of the final pureed soup was browner than I expected. I think I accidentally got some browning on the onions and leeks and my chicken stock was a bit brown from roasting the chicken parts before making the stock. I'll probably be more careful sauteing next time and use a light-colored stock.
