EASY POTATO AND LEEK SOUP
A quick and easy soup that tastes great. I like to take a potato masher and roughly mash some of the potatoes. This helps to thicken the soup. I also like to use seasoned chicken broth. You can use heavy cream or half-and-half, depending on how rich you want the soup to be.

Steps:
- 1. Cut off the tough green tops and the beard ends of the leeks. Using a sharp knife, make a cut down the center of the leeks but not all the way through the beard end, let that connected. Turn over the leeks and make another cut like the first but not all the way through. Cut the leeks into thin slices and rinse well in cold water in a pot to clean out any sand in the stalks. Strain in a colander.
- 2. Slice celery. Melt the butter in a large pot and add the leeks and celery. Cook over medium low heat until tender.
- 3. Add the chicken broth, salt and pepper and the peeled, diced potatoes to the leeks and cover and simmer until potatoes are tender but not falling apart.
- 4. Add the half and half but don't boil, just heat until broth is hot. At this time if you are adding ham or bacon put it in the pot and let it heat. If soup is too thin just mash some of the potatoes with the back of a wooden spoon until soup is of the consistency you like.

In a saucepan over medium high heat sauté sliced leeks and onion in butter stirring constantly until tender, do not allow them to brown, remove any discolored leeks or onion if necessary, the soup should be white without any 'flecks'. Add sliced potatoes and chicken broth to the saucepan, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 35 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Puree the potato leek mixture in a food processor or blender; return to saucepan, add milk and cream mixing well. Taste for seasoning, add salt if needed. Serve the vichyssoise potato leek mixture hot or cold. Garnish with chives or fresh parsley.
