Creamy Potato, Carrot, and Leek Soup image

Ever since a trip to Ireland in 2001 I have wanted to recreate a leek soup I enjoyed in a small village restaurant. This is what I came up with and even my husband thinks I nailed it. My kids will eat this because it is smooth and they are not turned off by any particular ingredient.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few carrots and potatoes lying around, so this is a perfect recipe for me.

The potatoes, carrots, and leeks are cooked perfectly in this soup. They're soft and tender, but they still have a little bit of bite to them.
