Servings: persons

3 medium leeks (white and light green parts)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes (peeled, if desired), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup dry white wine
3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 bunches watercress, leaves only
4 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
4 ounces thinly sliced ham

1
Slice each leek in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons. Place in a large bowl of cold water and swish. Drain and pat dry.
2
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for 3 minutes. Add the potatoes, wine, and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover partially, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add the salt, pepper, and watercress. Stir until the watercress wilts.
3
Meanwhile, slice each biscuit in half. Place the ham on the bottoms and sandwich with the tops. Ladle the soup into individual bowls and serve with the ham biscuits.
4
To make a creamier soup, puree half of it in a blender or food processor just before serving. Return the puree to the pot to rewarm it.
