Ingredients

2 leeks
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced thin
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 large russet potato (about 1 lb.), peeled and cut into 1" pieces
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. water
Salt and pepper
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

Swiss Chard Soup with Yogurt and Dill

Directions

1. Trim roots and dark green leaves from leeks. Halve leeks lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 1" pieces. Transfer to a large bowl filled with cold water. Using fingers, swish leeks to remove dirt, then place in a colander to drain; set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add leeks, celery, potato, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and increase heat to high. Cook, stirring frequently, until water is mostly evaporated and vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potato is tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add chard and cook, stirring frequently, until leaves are tender, 6 to 8 more minutes; stir in parsley and remove from heat.
4. Working in batches, transfer soup to a blender and puree until smooth, about 1 minute, transferring blended soup to a clean pot as you go. Thin soup with a bit of hot water if desired, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Stir Greek yogurt and remaining 2 tablespoons water together in a small bowl, adding more water as needed until thin enough to drizzle. Divide soup among four bowls, then drizzle with yogurt mixture and sprinkle with dill before serving.
