Ingredients

2 large handfulls of wild leeks (leaves and bulbs)

9 medium sized yukon gold potatoes

2 TBSP butter

dash salt

dash pepper

4 cups water

2 cups milk

2 TBSP chicken soup base (like Better than Boullion)

salt pork (optional)

Directions

Peel potatoes and dice

Melt butter in a 5 quart pot, add diced potatoes and a dash of salt and saute till lightly golden

Add water and chicken soup base, simmer

Wash and tri the leeks

Using kitchen shears snip one handfull of the leeks into small pieces and add to the pot.

Simmer till potatoes are tender.

Blend half the soup in blender till creamy and thick. Add back into the pot.

Add milk slowly. Heat till once again hot but not boiling.

Snip the remaing leeks into the pot, do not boil, just keep warm.

(you may find it easier to use a knife when you get to the bulbs)

Optional: Dice salt pork into 1/4 inch pieces and fry till you get cracklings. Serve warm leek soup topped with the pork cracklings.
