Potato Leek Soup

I love making soups during the week on cold nights.  They are quick and always warm me up!

This is the perfect recipe for 2!

4 butter potatoes, cubed
2 leeks, sliced thinly
5 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup milk
butter
1/2 tsp. thyme
pepper
garnish with cheddar cheese if you wish!

In a pot melt about 3 Tb butter.  Saute leeks and potatoes.  Add thyme and fresh cracked pepper.  After about 5 minutes add chicken broth.  Simmer until potatoes are cooked through. Add milk or cream.
With an emulsion blender, blend soup to thicken.  I hold on bottom of pot so the leeks are blended well, but like to leave the potatoes cubed.
Enjoy :)
