2. In a large stockpot, melt butter and saute leeks, onion, and garlic until tender. Add cubed potatoes and smoked paprika, cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Add chicken broth and cover, cooking for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Check to see if potatoes are fork tender. If so, proceed by adding drained beans and cooking a few minutes more.

3. Using your immersion blender, puree soup until few chunks remain.

4. Add milk and cheese cubes, stir and heat carefully through. You don't want the soup to scorch or curdle, so keep your heat pretty low until soup is just simmering. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.
