today's special : 
Potato Leek Soup 
A good, hearty classic soup for a cold winter day, this is good comfort food for sickies. When preparing leeks, make sure to rinse well -- dirt has a tendency to get trapped between the leaves -- and use just the white and pale green portions; the dark green leaves are too tough. 


ingredients

2 leeks
2-3 russet potatoes
2 tbsp. butter (or olive oil)
4 cups chicken or veggie stock
salt and pepper
time 
45 minutes

serves
4 (side dish)


1.
Thinly slice the leeks, using just the white and pale green portions. Peel and dice the potatoes.
2. Heat the butter or olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the leeks until they're nice and tender, about 10 minutes or so.
3. Add the potatoes and stock. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 30 minutes or so (until the potatoes are cooked).
4. Puree the soup, in batches if necessary, in a blender or food processor. When it's nice and smooth, return the soup to the pot, and simmer for another few minutes to re-heat. Add more liquid if it seems too thick. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with good, crusty bread.
