K'S POTATO LEEK SOUP

Ingredients:

 3 Tablespoons Butter
 3 Lecks - Thinly sliced*
 1 Medium or Large Onion - chopped
 6-8 Russet Potatoes, thinly sliced**
 3 1/2 Cups Chicken broth (or enough to barely cover potatoes)
 1 Cup Heavy cream
 Salt to taste
 Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Directions: Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat then add onions and leeks. Cook,
stirring. until onions are limp and just slightly brown. Add sliced potatoes to saucepan then
pour in enough chicken broth to just barely cover the potatoes. Continue cooking over medium
heat until potatoes are tender. Using a potato masher, mash and stir potatoes until desired
consistency is reached. As you mash the potatoes and the soup thickens, turn down heat and
stir frequently with a large spoon to prevent scorching on the bottom. Add one cup of heavy
cream (or more if you desire) and salt and black pepper to taste. Cook 15 minutes more over
low heat, stirring frequently, then remove from heat and serve. Notes: "Make sure to clean
leeks thoroughly and slice only the white and light green part of the leeks. You don't need to
peel the potatoes as the peels add to the rustic texture of the soup. But make sure to scrub
them thoroughly and remove any obvious blemishes before slicing. Although we always make it
with chicken broth, this can easily become a vegetarian soup by simply using vegetable broth
instead.
