Simple Leek And Potato Soup

   ["The measurements for leeks, potatoes and liquid are all volume measurements so you can start with whatever you have the least of. For instance if you have one leek in your crisper, chop it up and measure and then add the same amount of potatoes and water.", "add a little salt and pepper(1/4 teaspoon salt per quart of soup and a grind or two of pepper) to flavor while simmering", "bring to a boil, turn the heat to low and simmer until potatoes are just done (15-20 minutes)", "using an immersion blender or transfer to food processor, puree soup.
