Steps:
- Bring the broth, potatoes, thyme, bay leaves and 1/2 teaspoon salt to boil, covered, in a large saucepan. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook, covered, until needed in step 3.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a large Dutch oven over med-high heat. Stir in leeks, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt, cover and cook until leeks are wilted and softened, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in broth mixture. Bring to simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 4 to 7 minutes.
- Off heat, remove bay leaves and mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot to thicken soup to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
RUSTIC POTATO SOUP PART DEUX
Steps:
- Brown sausages in oil in large soup pot. Remove sausages and set aside, add butter to the pot, then onion and fresh thyme. Sauté onions until slightly browned. While they are sautéing, cut the cooked sausages into pieces. When onions are ready, add chicken broth, sausages and potatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer until potatoes are soft when forked. (You may want to add a little water now and again while they boil, as the potatoes will tend to absorb some of the liquid.) Once the potatoes are cooked, strain the liquid into a separate bowl. Remove the thyme stems from the solids, and then put approximately half of the potatoes into the blender with all of the liquid. Purée the potatoes and broth, and then add back to the original soup pot and reheat. Add cream to the purée and stir to combine. Add back the remaining potatoes to the soup pot and use a potato masher to break down the pieces. (Don't mash too much, you want to preserve a somewhat lumpy texture - this is RUSTIC remember, and to me that means lumpy.) Add back the sausages and bring soup to a boil. Add fresh ground pepper, to taste. Serve piping hot with rustic (oddly, NOT lumpy in this case) country bread. This can serve 4 people (or just me and Al, as we usually eat the whole pot). P.S -- If you want the recipe with the leeks, kale and bay leaf - tant pis - I think I found it in Cook's Illustrated.

RUSTIC LEEK AND POTATO SOUP
No cream, no guilt, but pure heaven. Served hot or cold with a crunchy salad, this luscious soup is a kid and crowd pleaser. Note that it is a blender-free recipe, you won't burn your fingers. I prefer to make this with Yukon Gold potatoes, but Dutch potatoes or fingerlings are also good. But if all you have is white, red or Russet, go for it! I adapted this recipe from many different leek and potato recipes on the web. It is a personal favorite for taste, stomach-satisfaction and ease of preparation.

Steps:
- Saute onions and leeks in 4 or 6 qt pot over medium heat until onion is starting to get translucent. Do not brown or burn.
- Add garlic and saute 1 - 2 minutes longer.
- Add potatoes and 3 cups water.
- Dissolve bouillon cubes in 1/4 cup hot water and add to pot.
- Bring to gentle boil and cook, covered, for 20 - 30 minutes until potato pieces are easily pierced with a fork.
- Mash with a potato masher until the soup has a coarse, rustic texture.
- Serve with more black pepper.
- Variations:
- - Add half a teaspoon of dill instead of the rosemary.
- - Add a carrot or two.
- - No leeks? No problem! Add a 3 or 4 handfuls of shredded cabbage - I use the bagged shredded coleslaw cabbage from the supermarket. This gives the dish a distinctly Irish taste and feel.
