::creamy potato leek soup::

okay...so if you love going out for lunch, and getting a hearty bowl of simmered, full of flavour, warm you to the core soup...then, we have something in common!!

let me know if we have THIS is common too: good soup takes ALL DAY to make! Or at least that's what I THOUGHT!!!

Until I chopped, sauteed, boiled and blended up this beauty tonight!!


Seriously...THIS was THAT-gotta-go-out-for-lunch-to-get-a-good-bowl-of-soup SOUP! For ALL who enjoyed it tonight!! And...it was ready in less than an hour!!!!

So...wanna know how to make it??? Okaaaay, i guess i'll tell ya!

******************

1/2 large onion
2 small links farmer sausage
(shocker, i know!)
3 leeks, chopped
2 large potatoes, chopped
1 carton chicken broth
sea salt
cracked pepper
celery seed
1/2 c whole milk
1/2 sour cream

********************

okay, so put the onion and sausage in the pot and fry it up until it smells really yummy!

then, pour in the carton of broth and add the leeks and potatoes, salt, pepper, and celery seed - bring it to a boil, pop the lid on your pot, turn it down to medium and let it "brouddle" away (I know that's not a word, but it's something Jim says)

I did that for about 15 mins?? until the potatoes were nice and soft...

it should look something like this...

then, put is in a food precessor and give it a good "jooj" to smooth things up a bit...I did this in two batches.

NOTE: if you are using a processor/blender that has a tightly fitting lid, PLEASE make sure to vent the lid, or...well, just listen to me;)

THEN>>and ONLY then...add the creamy stuff, because you don't want to add it before, for fear of cooking the dairy too long!

Stir in the dairy...bring it back to a boil, and then take it off the heat and keep it covered until your ready to serve it...

But, believe me, it won't be long before it's all.gone.! I didn't even have a bowl of left-overs!


~mmmmmm...so simple!!! enjoy!

(please let me know if I missed explaining a step here, I'm just so excited about this soup!!)
