Preparation

Step 1

Wash potatoes, dice, (with or without skins). Slice leeks (white and tender parts only)

Let all ingredients (potatoes, leeks, salt) simmer for 40 - 50 minutes until potatoes are tender. Blend with a immersion blender (so super easy and worth the investment for all sorts of soups) or transfer to a regular blender and then back to the pot.

Remove from heat, add 4-6 T. of butter (I like the 1/2 cup cream better but went with what I had.)

Serve with chopped herbs (chives or parsley) if you have them - and, fresh bread.
