Potato/Leek Soup

(Vichysoisse French Blended Soup)

8 medium Yukon potatoes, peeled and diced

3 leeks (use only the white and light green parts)

-Slice leeks in half and rinse well, pulling apart the layers because sand can get into the folds.

6 cups chicken broth

Salt and pepper to your taste (more is better for me)

In a large pot, sauté diced leeks in 3 tab. Olive oil and ¼ tsp salt, until slightly translucent and tender.

Add all potatoes to the leeks—stir together.

Add chicken broth, salt and pepper to your taste.

Bring to a boil and then turn down heat. Leave lid on and cook till tender.

Set to the side. In batches, pour a half a blender full of the soup mixture

Into the blender jar and blend till smooth. Do the whole pot this way…a half a blender full at a time.

Garnish with a bit of pepper and cilantro and enjoy this smooth and satisfying soup!
