    Potato and Leek Soup

    This is our favorite soup recipe . . . it's Soup-er easy to make (Get it . . . soup-er).
    I make this soup almost every week in the fall and winter . . . I've even made it for my in-laws and my MIL had seconds (that's very exciting around here!).

    1 small yellow onion
    1 large Leek or 2 small ones
    1 box chicken stock or Vegetable stock (we use low sodium organic chicken stock from Trader Joe's)
    1 small brown potato
    1/8 tsp Dried Thyme
    salt and pepper

    Sooooo easy Sooooo good!

    First dice the onion. Slice up the white part of the Leek and wash well.
    Put a tbsp of oil in a pot and fry up the onions and Leeks, about 5 min. You just want them to get a bit of brown on them!
    Add Thyme. Stir.
    Add box of Stock.
    Dice Potato. Add to pot.
    Boil soup until potatoes are done . . . make sure they're really done!!!! This soup is ruined by under cooking the potatoes (I've done it, I know . . . p.s. Lee was really hungry that night and still ate it :)
    Salt and Pepper to taste . . . I think it's best with a little extra salt (yes I know we used low sodium stock only to add extra salt . . . don't judge me ;)
    Throw it all into a food processor and pulse until desired consistency!

    Eat, Lick Pot Clean!!! DONE!

      Hi, the soup sounds yummy! How many bowls/ or servings is it? I have two kids (11 and 9) plus my husband. Would it be enough for all 4 of us?

      Soup looks delish, can't wait to try it!!! You have a Trader Joe's in BC? I didn't think they were in Canada yet.

      Dream Catcher- One box of Chicken Stock is one liter. I believe it's 946ml to be exact or just over 4 cups :)

      Meena- There is no Trader Joe's in Canada, we live about 30 minutes from the Canadian/USA border so I hop across the border when I get the chance and always make sure to stop at Trader Joe's and Target :)

      As far as servings go, it makes enough for Lee and myself but we are big eaters. Seriously, it's supposed to feed 4. If I had an 11yr old and a 9yr old I would probably double the recipe and then run it trough the food processor in two batches.

      Hope that helps!

      Sounds good to me....although a bit hot here at the moment (37.1 degrees at 4pm in Brisbane) yesterday, today is a nicer 30 degrees. Will try this out in a few months time when it starts to get cool. Kathy A, Brisbane
