Aunt Helen's Potato Soup

My Aunt Helen gave us her recipe for potato soup - and it's so delicious!! The kids love it because they can add whatever toppings they desire without having to do the same toppings that we do. I'd never cooked with leeks before, but I do believe they are the "secret" ingredient to this soup.



2 large leeks, cut the greens off and slice up the whites
2 Tablespoons margarine or butter
1 quart chicken broth
2 lbs. diced potatoes
1 pint heavy whipping cream

1. Saute leeks in margarine until tender. Add chicken broth and potatoes. Cook until potatoes are tender. Mash or whip mixture. Add whipping cream. Heat, then serve.




2. Top with whatever toppings you would enjoy on baked potatoes if you desire - green onions, sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon bits, etc. Or just eat as is - sometimes we serve it in bread bowls.
