                    I have been making this soup for years and I never get tired of it. It can easily be doubled to freeze for future meals. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1/4 cup butter  |  
                                                2 cups leeks, sliced (white part only)  |  
                                                3/4 cup carrot, diced  |  
                                                3/4 cup celery, diced  |  
                                                2 tablespoons all-purpose flour  |  
                                                4 cups chicken stock  |  
                                                2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced  |  
                                                1/4 lb kielbasa, skin removed and thinly sliced  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram  |  
                                                black pepper  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. 2. Cook the leeks, carrots and celery until softened but not browned. 3. Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. 4. Blend in the chicken stock. 5. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. 6. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender. 7. Add the sausage, salt, marjoram and pepper to taste. 8. Simmer for 10 minutes.                              |
