BAVARIAN POTATO LEEK SOUP

Bavarian Potato Leek Soup image

I found this on a copy-cat site and its the best I've found so far. I use a potato masher right before serving to make it creamier but with some chunks of potato. You could also use an immersion/stick blender if you like it really smooth. (I also like it served cold)
