Fast Potato Leek Soup

by Tricia Wheeler of The Seasoned Farmhouse

1-½ pounds potatoes, chopped into relatively equal size

6 cups of water

1 pound of leeks, including the tender green parts, thinly sliced

2-3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and Pepper

Peel the potatoes, cut in half lengthwise and then again into three or four halves to similar size.Thinly cut the leeks crosswise into rounds and separate into a bowl filled with cold water. Then use your hands to dislodge any dirt or sand, and scoop the leeks into a new bowl with a slotted spoon once they are clean.

In a pot over high heat, combine the salted water, potatoes and leeks. Bring to a rapid boil until the potatoes are easily pricked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Blend with an immersion blender or in a blender. Taste and season. Serve with bread crisp.
