Ingredients:
- 3 extra large russet or starchy potatos (about 3 cups chopped)
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste ( i like lots)
- slivered almonds (optional)
Directions:
- Roughly chop all vegetables, prepare chicken stock if using powder, and measure out all ingredients (it saves you from scrambling between steps.
- In a large sauce pan, or small stock pot, heat the olive oil. When heated, saute onions and garlic. Add leeks after about 1 minute.
- Place chopped potatoes on top of onions and leeks, chicken stock, pepper, salt and parsley. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, but not mushy - you don't want to overcook them, or the soup will end up gluey. Remove from heat.
- Using a hand blender or tabletop blender, blend until everything is just pureed. Again, if you over-puree, the soup will end up gluey. Return to low heat. Add cream/milk, and almonds if desired, stir and heat through.
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper as desired.
- Serve hot with a dinner roll or other fresh bread.
