Ingredients

    5 med. red potatoes
    5 large leeks, washed peeled and trimmed (just tender parts)
    8 cups water (enough water to cover leeks and potatoes)
    2 tsp sea salt
    boil till tender, then mash or puree to your desired texture.
    Then finish with fresh herbs and a fat of your choice. I usually use a wedge of laughing cow light cheese. I pour 1/4 of the hot soup over the wedge and blend together with a fork, then add the rest of the serving of soup. season with cracked pepper and more salt if desired. Topping the soup with creme freche, butter, or buttermilk are all yummy. Note that the finishing ingrediants are not included in the calorie count.
