Receta Looking for Comfort? Eat Soup!
by Mary Cokenour

No matter what the weather, I have always found soup to be a wonderful comfort food. It lightens a dark mood; soothes an ache of the mind, body or soul; can be quite healthy, so no guilt; or decadent when wanting to feel pampered.

One of the best soups I know for relieving the cold and alone feeling of nasty winter weather is Potato Leek Soup, and the addition of cream makes it a little decadent too. Definitely a win-win.

and girt. In a large stock pot, melt

butter over medium heat; sauté leeks until tender (approx. 10-15 minutes).

Increase heat to

medium-high; add potatoes, stock, water, black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low; cover

and let simmer for 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

If using an immersion

blender, puree vegetables in stock pot until smooth. Otherwise, transfer in batches into a

standard blender; puree until smooth and return to stock pot once all is done.

Turn heat on again to low,

stir half n’ half into the puree; let soup come up to a hot temperature, but do

not increase heat to avoid boiling the soup.

Ladle into bowls, garnish

with snips of favorite fresh herb if desired.
