Receta Potato & Leek Soup
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.

- In a saucepan combine potatoes with 1 cup of the broth. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer covered for about 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat, place in a bowl and cool slightly.
- In a large saucepan, over medium high heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced leeks and celery, cook for about 4 minutes or until tender. Add the remaining broth, (sweet potato and nutmeg) and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer potato mixture in a blender or food processor and blend or process until smooth.
- Stir in potato mixture, (milk) and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir occasionally for another 5 minutes, until thickened and warmed through.
- Season to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper. Garnish with a fresh herb spring of your choice, I used parsley.
