Potato Leek Soup

Ingredients

  • 5-7 large russet potatoes -- cubed
  • 2-3 large leeks -- chopped (Use as much of the leek that you can)
  • 1-1.5 yellow onions -- chopped
  • 10 leaves fresh bazil -- diced
  • 1/8 cup of tyme (dried)
  • 3 - 4 cloves of garlic --diced
  • salt / pepper / garlic powder to taste
  • 1 cup of vegan soymilk (optional)
  • Knorr's potato leek soup mix (or Arrow root to thicken a bit)
  • 2 cans cream of asparagus soup (optional)
  • 8-12 quarts of water

Directions

The prep time is a bit missleading... This soup will cook
for about 2 Hrs, but there's not much prep involved at all!

- Peel and cube the potates

-Put potatoes, tyme and basil into salted water and boil
for about 45mins - 1 Hr.

- Add the leaks, onions, and garlic to the mix. Turn down
the heat and simmer for another 45 mins - 1 Hr. Stir
frequently or the potatoes will burn to the bottom of the
pot.... Ugghh.

- Add garlic powder for flavor and a little arrow root to
thicken a bit ... When I'm lazy I just use 2 packs of
Knorr's potato leak soup.

- Let cook another 5 mins or so stiring freq.

- At this point you could add 1 cup of soy milk.
** My wife likes to add two cans of cream of asparagus
soup... but that's optional.

Enjoy!!!!
