Simple Leek And Potato Soup by Donspain

A very flavorful yet simple and easy soup! Lucky for me my local store had some leeks!
I had some leftover ham, so I followed this recipe and just added cooked diced ham at the end of cooking. I also added some frozen peas at the end because I like that combo of ham, peas and potato!
Some very minor changes that didn't effect the outcome: I used sour cream in place of the crème fraiche (as I planned this last minute) and I topped this with freshly snipped chives from the garden instead of the parsley.
Don suggested this soup to me as well as a Ham and Pea soup, so I kind of combined the two, and it turned out delicious! Thanks Don! :)

Thanks! :)
It's very thick and comforting! My daughter can't have dairy, and I limit myself too. So the two of us had it without the cream and you wouldn't even know it was missing as the potatoes made it thick and creamy!
