If wild leeks are abundant where you live, there is no better leek soup. If not - search to the ends of the earth to find them.....

- 2 cups milk shopping list
- 2 TBSP chicken soup base (like Better than Boullion) shopping list

How to make it
- 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 trim the leeks
- Using kitchen shears snip one handfull of the leeks into small pieces and add to the pot.

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