Easy Potato and Leek Soup

Description

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.

Ingredients

  • 6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
  • 2 leeks, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons margarine
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot over medium heat
  2. combine the potatoes and broth and allow to simmer for 20 minutes
  3. or until potatoes are tender.
  4. In a separate skillet over medium heat
  5. saute the leeks in the butter or margarine for 5 to 10 minutes
  6. 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.)
