This week is all about trying something new. Logan really wanted to try out leeks so after digging thru some recipes I found a soup with leeks in it. Might be a good way to introduce leeks into our diet.
1 cup butter
2 leeks, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1 quart chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups heavy cream
In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Cook leeks in butter with salt and pepper until tender, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
Stir cornstarch into broth and pour broth into pot. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the cream, reduce heat and simmer at least 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper before serving.

A really good soup. Next time I am going to add celery into it...and maybe a little cream chessy to make it a bit more creamy. However, it is a really good winter soup to try if you like potato soup. Very simple. I used red potatos b/c I couldn't find the golden and it worked out just fine.
