Suggestions

Ingredients

  • 14.5 ounce chicken broth canned
  • 1.5 cups cup heavy whipping cream 
  •  leek chopped
  • teaspoons butter 
  •  potatoes cubed peeled

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • pot
  • potato masher

Directions

  1. In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the potatoes and broth and allow to simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  2. In a separate skillet over medium heat, saute the leeks in the butter or margarine for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Add the leeks and the cream to the potatoes and stir well. (Note: This is the point I like to take a potato masher and slightly thicken the soup.)
