Chunky Potato & Leek Soup

How does a mother know when something she makes is delicious? When her four year old says, "more please".

I made this soup on a cold rainy day and it hit the spot. Creamy, chunky, easy and delicious.


Chunky Potato & Leek Soup

• 5-6 Cups of cubed, unpeeled potatoes - I used Yukon Gold from my CSA.
• 2 leeks - cleaned and chopped into small pieces. I ran through the food processor to chop.
• 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 Tbsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• water
• 2 Cups whole milk
• 2 Cups shredded cheddar cheese

Saute leeks in the olive oil until soft.

Add potatoes, salt and pepper. Cover with water and bring to a boil and simmer for 45 minutes.

Use a hand masher and mash potatoes until desired consistency.

Add milk and cheese and stir until well-blended.

Easy peasy and very yummy!
