  • Prep Time 5 minutes
  • Total Time 40 minutes
  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 4 leeks, (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
    • 4 cups reduced-sodium canned chicken broth
    • 2 tablespoons cold butter
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

  1. Remove outer leaves; cut dark-green ends from leeks. Trim roots, keeping leaves attached. Halve lengthwise; rinse to remove grit.
  2. Bring broth to a boil in a large skillet. Add leeks; cover, and cook over medium-low heat, turning once, until easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 15 to 25 minutes. Using tongs, transfer leeks to a platter.
  3. Boil broth until reduced to 1/2 cup, 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter; swirl to melt. Add parsley; season with salt and pepper. Spoon over leeks.
