Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large pot, bring potatoes and chicken broth to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender (checking with a fork).
  2. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook until crisp (I sometimes cheat and bake it in the over on a cookie cooling rack over a cookie sheet lined with tin foil. Bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes I keep checking it, so not sure of the time. Bacon comes out crispy every time and the dripping end up on the foil lined cookie sheet for easy clean up!).
  3. In the same frying pan (or in a frying pan if you used the oven method to cook the bacon), with 3-4 Tablespoons of the bacon grease (if you cooked the bacon in the frying pan- skim off until you have about this much- if you baked the bacon, add this amount to the frying pan!). Add the leeks- making sure that you have rinsed them well! Saute over med-low heat until they are limp and tender, stirring often.
  4. Mash or even better, use a submersion blender to mash the cooked potatoes until almost smooth.
  5. Blend in heavy cream.
  6. Add cooked leeks and 3/4 of the cooked bacon.
  7. Continue to blend until soup is almost smooth.
  8. Mix in remaining crumbled bacon or reserve as a garnish (I add it).
  9. If you find the soup is too thick for your liking, add small amounts of cream or chicken broth until it reaches the desired consistency- we like it pretty thick.
  10. Enjoy.
