Ingredients

    2 Leeks, Only white parts sliced thin (If you can't find leeks you can use 1 bunch scallions)
    4 C Mushrooms, sliced
    2 Cloves Garlic, minced
    2 Tbsp Olive Oil
    1/2 C Whole Wheat Flour (or All Purpose flour if that's what you have on hand)
    6 c Chicken Stock
    1 lb Red Potatoes
    1 Tbsp Fresh Rosemary, chopped (you can substitute dried rosemary. Use half the amount)
    1 C Half & Half
    salt and pepper to taste

Tips

Any waxy potato would work (red, yellow or purple) however, russets will just fall apart.


Directions

Lightly saute the leeks, mushrooms and garlic in olive oil until veggies are wilted.

Add the flour and stir well until veggies are coated. Whisk in chicken stock so no clumps form.

Add the potatoes, rosemary and half & half. Stir and simmer for 20 min or until the potatoes are tender. Salt and pepper to your taste.
