This Chunky Potato and Leek Soup is super easy to make and so yummy that your kids just might ask for seconds…or thirds.

Chunky Potato and Leek Soup

Ingredients:

  • 5-6 Cups of cubed, unpeeled potatoes – I like Yukon Gold.
  • 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

Instructions:
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.

Serve topped with Cheap (but Tasty) Homemade Croutons.

Easy peasy and very yummy!
