PREPARATION
1.
Use a hand blender or food processor to puree the dill and olive oil into a creamy green emulsion. Set aside.
2.
Cut the dark, tough green leaves from the leeks, trim off the roots, and wash/rinse well. You can slice the leeks lengthwise to get in between the layers, or make a few rough chops and give them a quick soak, or whatever method you prefer.
3.
Use a food processor to chop the leeks in two batches.
4.
In a large soup pot, heat the butter and 5 tablespoons of the dill oil over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and is bubbling, stir in the leeks and a couple big pinches of salt. Stir well, then cover.

6.
Now, stir in the potatoes and garlic and cook, uncovered, stirring regularly, for another 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are very, very soft.
7.
If the leeks at the bottom of the pot are getting too much color, dial back the heat a bit more and be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan when you're stirring.
8.
At this point you can mash everything with a potato masher or large fork. If you prefer a smoother soup, use a hand blender, but this soup is great a little on the chunky side.
9.
Stir in the hot broth, adjusting the amount based on whether you like a thick or thin soup. Bring back to a simmer.
10.
Serve with toasted almond slivers if desired.
