Ingredients

2 Tbsp Olivio Premium Spread (or margarine)

2 large Leeks (white and light green part only, rinsed well)

0.75 cup Fat free half and half

2 large Potatoes, peeled and cut into small chunks

5 cups Pacific Natural Foods Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Broth

Salt and Pepper to taste

3 Tbsp Fresh Chives for garnish

Directions

In a large saucepan melt the butter and saute the leeks until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and stock and cook until the vegetables are cooked through and beginning to fall apart, about 15 to 20 minutes. If using an immersion blender, submerge in the soup and puree until smooth but with some small chunks remaining. *If using a blender, ladle the soup into the blender and blend until smooth but with some small chunks remaining. You may have to do this in 2 batches. Add the cream and blend to combine, then check for seasoning and add salt and pepper, to taste. Serve hot ladled into soup bowls and topped with some of the chopped chives.

There are about 4 - 2 cup servings.

*My husband enjoys cheese sprinkled on top as well. For such low calories "I say go for it!"
