This soup is from an excellent vegeterian cook book called The Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet by Nava Atlas. It is an awesome book because the recepies have little ingredients (5 or less as is clearly indicated by title of book. This recepie for potato leek soup is delicious, makes you feel all cozy and awesome because most likely you have all the ingredients except for the leeks (unless you are an avid leek eater which I am not.)

Ingredients

2 T butter
3 to 4 leeks (medium size)
6 large potatos
2 veggie bouillon cubes
1 cup low fat milk

Directions

1. Heat up butter in pot and simmer leeks after chopping them into managable pieces.

2. While leeks are cooking peel and chop up potatos. Make sure to watch leeks so they don’t turn brown but do get wilted.

3. After leeks are cooked put in potatos and add enough water to cover the potatos. Add in boullion cubes and I always add bay leaves to my soups since it gives it a nice flavor.

4. Cook until potatos are soft (like 30 min) then remove about 1/2 C of the potatos with a slotted spoon and smash them down. Add back into soup.

5. Lastly add the milk and have delicious cozy soup.
