Potato-Leek soup
Recipe:
4 Tbs
2 or 3 leeks trimmed and thoroughly cleaned (number depends on size)
4 lbs golden potatoes peeled (if you like) and cubed
6 C chicken stock (youi can use veg stock to make it all veggie)
1 C milk or cream
Croutons if you like
Slice up leeks and cube potatoes, melt butter in large pan. Saute potatoes and leeks in butter for about 15 mins over Med-low heat. Add stock, bring to boil and then simmer until the potatoes are tender. Use a stick blender to smooth out soup to your liking. Add milk/cream, stir, top with croutons and serve.
The great thing about this soup is the variation. In the summer, I peel the potatoes, blend it very smooth, use milk and serve it cold. In the winter, I leave the peels on, blend it chunkier, use cream and add croutons. It is really easy and so yummy!
