Chicago is having crisp fall weather right now, it makes me want homemade soup!!! I had potatoes and leeks on hand, so I decided to make a warming, filling and creamy potato & leek soup. If you are using canned or boxed broth this soup will be ready in 20 minutes or less. However, I decided to make my own fresh and homemade broth, as it makes so feel incredibly wholesome. I whipped up a quick vegetable broth (onions,carrots,celery,cabbage,thyme,& parsley). If you have left over mashed potatoes, this is a great way to use them up is my making this soup. I added sweet potato and nutmeg to really get an autumn feel and taste. Feel free to omit those ingredients.
