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:
- In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the potatoes and broth and allow to simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- In a separate skillet over medium heat, saute the leeks in the butter or margarine for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Add the leeks and the cream to the potatoes and stir well. (Note: This is the point I like to take a potato masher and slightly thicken the soup.)

[email protected]I thought this soup was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the texture was a bit too thick. I think I would have liked it more if it had been more flavorful and creamy.

[email protected]This soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a bit thinner and more brothy. The flavor was good, though.
