Servings: persons

19 ounces (550 g) of potatoes peeled and cubed
3 leeks (approximately 750 g)
8 ounces (250 g) of uncooked bacon
3 tablespoons (45 ml) of butter (separated)
2 cloves garlic (5-10 g) pressed
1 teaspoon (5 ml) of salt
1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) of pepper
1 tablespoon (15 ml) of Italian seasoning
4 cups (940 ml) of chicken broth
2 cups (470 ml) of cream
1/4 cup (60 ml) of shredded cheddar cheese (per bowl)

1
Cut leeks lengthwise then chop into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) pieces. In cool water, separate leeks into individual layer to clean. Remove from water and leave in a colander to dry.
2
With a large pot (approximately 8 litre capacity) melt 2 tablespoons (30 ml) on medium heat.
3
Cut bacon strips into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) pieces then drop into the pot. Cook bacon until it begins to brown.
4
Melt remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of butter then add potatoes and garlic into the pot. Sautee for about five minutes. (Optional) Add in Italian seasoning.
5
Add leeks and cook for approximately 5 minutes. Leeks will decrease in volume considerably during this time.

Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes then pour in cream. Replace on the heating element and simmer on low for 20 minutes.
