INSTRUCTIONS
Saute leeks and onions in butter until soft and slightly colored. Add
potatoes and stock and simmer for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are soft.
Cool slightly, then process in a blender or food processor until pureed.
Add milk and season. Cool and refrigerate, overnight if possible. When
ready to serve, stir in cream and sprinkle with chives.
Notes: When using leeks it is extremely important to rinse them very very
well. They are full of sand ! In this particular recipe make sure to use
only the white part of the leeks. The soup is pure white when you're done.
