Any recipe for leek&potato soup?

[BBWCHATT]

I found this for you on the internet:

Potato Leek Soup
A creamy soup with a strong leek flavor.
INGREDIENTS
225 g butter
2 leeks, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
945 ml chicken broth
8 g cornstarch
620 g Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
475 ml heavy cream
DIRECTIONS
In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Cook leeks in butter with salt and pepper until tender, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
Stir cornstarch into broth and pour broth into pot. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the cream, reduce heat and simmer at least 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper before serving

Thanks! I prefer the second one...sounds more healthier without the cream....

My preference is for the Delia recipe. I have made leek & potato soup with, and without onions and definitely find that some gently sauteed onion intensifies the flavour of the soup. It's one of my favourite winter receipes, especially served with lots of mature grated cheese on top.
