I am looking for the Leek Soup recipe

[chuckpony]

someone posted that over at the last forum and it sounded so yummy and I never got to copy the recipe down.

Here you go. I didn't cut and paste a few recipes I wanted either. Maybe I'll start a thread asking for people to re-post their recipes.

Leeks are in season now so I thought I’d share my fave recipe for leek soup. It’s wonderful on a cool day, and incredibly easy to make.

Nanny’s Irish Leek Soup

4 medium leeks cut in 1/2 inch slices
! medium diced onion
2-3 diced celery stalks (optional, but I like them)
4 medium potatoes diced
4 cups chicken or veggie broth
1 cup sour cream (I’ve also used 1/2 yogurt, 1/2 sour cream)
11/2 tbsps. butter (or olive oil and butter mixed)
Pepper to taste

In a large saucepan melt butter and add leeks, onions an celery.
Cook covered on medium heat until tender, stirring occasionally.
Add potatoes and broth and simmer covered for 30-40 minutes. Add
more broth if necessary.

Add sour cream and heat to serving temperature but do NOT boil. Season with fresh-ground pepper and serve immediately.

Good with sourdough bread.

thank you so much pacific breeze!!!

You're welcome. You can also use cream instead of milk and full fat sour cream and/or yogourt but I never do.

Was it the one that I posted? The potato, Leek, Garlic and bacon soup?
