Ingredients
-
6 potatoes, peeled and cubed
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
-
2 leeks, chopped
-
2 teaspoons margarine
-
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
Directions
-
In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the potatoes and broth and allow to simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
-
In a separate skillet over medium heat, saute the leeks in the butter or margarine for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Add the leeks and the cream to the potatoes and stir well. (Note: This is the point I like to take a potato masher and slightly thicken the soup.)
