Ingredients
- 3 large leeks, cut lengthwise, separate, clean. Use only the white and pale green parts, chop.
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
- 2 lbs potatoes, peeled, diced into 1/2 inch pieces
- Salt & Pepper
- Marjoram - dash
- Tabasco sauce or other red chili sauce
Method
1 Cook leeks in butter with salt and pepper in a medium sized sauce pan. Cover pan, cook on low heat for 10 minutes. Check often. Do not brown leeks! Browning will give leeks a burnt taste.
2 Add water, broth, and potatoes. Cook for 20 minutes. Scoop about half of the soup mixture into a blender, puree and return to pan. Add dash of marjoram and chili sauce to taste - about 1/4 teaspoon.
Serves 4-6.

My wife chose your recipe from the dozen or so on the www, and made this soup using fresh-dug leeks which I grew in the garden. She added some spices of her own choosing. It was scrumptious! Thank you.
