Ingredients:

Serving

3 large leeks, cleaned and cut into 1/2 slices
8 oz packaged sliced ham , cut into strips
2 large carrots, cleaned and sliced thinly
3 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp fresh parsley
2 tbsp butter or 2 tbsp margarine
1 lb potato, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup milk ( optional) or 1 cup heavy cream (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

To prepare Leeks, cut off the root ends and tough green tops, however, leave about 3 inches above the while part of the leeks. Next you cut them lengthwise and rinse under running water to remove sand. Cut into 1/2” slices.
In a large saucepan, melt butter or margarine. Add leeks, potatoes, carrots, ham and onion. Cook slowly until soft, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir often.
Add broth and cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer until potatoes are tender-about 25 minutes.
Add milk or cream if desired. Gradually heat gently but do not boil. Stir in parsley, salt and pepper to taste.
