5 pounds white potatoes, peeled and quartered
6 cups chicken broth
2 leeks, bulb only
½ cup butter

Cook potatoes in chicken stock until soft. Set aside, do not drain.
Put potatoes in the work bowl of a food processor in batches. Add 5 cups of chicken stock from the potato cooking pot. Puree until smooth.
Half the leeks lengthwise, and soak in water to clean. Finely slice. Saute in butter until transparent. Add white wine, and cook for 3 minutes.
