(easy) recipe of the week: potato leek soup

i got this recipe from a friend

(actually, a former teacher of mine)

and filed it away at least a year ago

for the future

when trying to come up with an idea to feed my husband, one of his good friends and myself one friday

i decided to pull it out and see what happened.

the result?

it'll be a regularly made soup in our house

i think next time i'll make a double batch to freeze some

very simple

very light

nice texture

great flavor

potato leek soup

3 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into quarters or smaller

6 cups chicken broth

4 medium leeks, trimmed

2/3 cup sour cream

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

fresh chives for garnish

cook potatoes in the broth and salt & pepper until tender

add leeks and season again with salt and pepper

cook until leeks and potatoes are very tender

put everything in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth

add the sour cream on top and drag into a design with a fork.  add fresh chives to top

serve warm or cold...it's yummy either way!  enjoy :-)
