Ingredients: 2 whole Medium Leeks; 2 cloves Garlic, Minced; 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil; 2 Tablespoons Butter; 8 Medium Potatoes; 3 quarts Vegetable Broth; 2 Bay Leaves; 1 teaspoon Thyme; 1/4 teaspoons Pepper; 1/2 teaspoons Seasoned Salt

Servings: persons

2 whole Medium Leeks
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons Butter
8 Medium Potatoes
3 quarts Vegetable Broth
2 Bay Leaves
1 teaspoon Thyme
1/4 teaspoons Pepper
1/2 teaspoons Seasoned Salt

1
Slice leeks lengthwise in half. Rinse under running cold water to remove any dirt and dry with a towel. Slice the whole thing (white and dark green parts) in 1/4 inch slices. Mince the garlic.
2
Heat the olive oil and butter in a 6-qt or larger soup pot. Add the leeks and garlic, saute on medium-high until the leeks soften, for about 10 minutes, stirring occationaly.
3
Meanwhile scrub and cube the potatoes. We leave the skins on for more vitamins.
4
Add all remaining ingredients and cook on high until the potatoes start to fall apart, about 25 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and mash with a potato masher until desired consistency. We like ours slightly chunky.
5
Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired. If you like a creamy soup, add 1/2 cup half-and-half at this point, but it is great as is.
6
Serve with a big hunk of sourdough bread or grilled ham and cheese sandwich and enjoy!
