6medium potatoespeeled and chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2tspsalt
1/8tspground black pepper
8cupsvegetable brothor chicken broth
Instructions
In a large pot on medium heat, heat up the olive oil. Then add the sliced leeks, onions, garlic and chopped potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the leeks are soft.
Add the broth and cook on a low simmer for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are soft and cooked.
Use an immersion blender (or food processor) to blend the soup just long enough until it is smooth and creamy (just a minute or so). You don't want to over blend it or it could become gummy in texture.
