"This great-tasting soup gets its creamy texture from the pureed potatoes. It is a lovely belly-warming and filling fall or winter soup but also good cold and refreshing on a hot summer day."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot, add the leeks and garlic and cook until softened.
Step 2
Add the remaining ingredients, except for garnish items, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 1 hour.
Step 4
Remove the bay leaf and puree with an immersion blender. If you don’t have an immersion blender, puree in batches in a blender, covering with a towel instead of securing the blender cover as this would expand and make a huge mess. Return to pot and heat through; ladle into bowls and serve.
