I couldn't find a recipe that looked good and I didn't want to puree the soup, so I combined 3 recipes and came up with this one. It was delicious which I found hard to believe with so few ingredients. It also came out a nice golden colour.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup of sliced leek (whites and some green)
2 cups diced peeled potatoes (1/2inch cubes)
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
3 cups chicken broth (or cups water and 3 tsps chicken bouillon)
3 tablespoons flour
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon paprika
nutmeg (2 sprinkles from the jar)
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon flour
Directions:
1. Melt butter in pot over medium heat, sauté leeks for 5 minutes.
2. Add potatoes and sauté 5 minutes more.
3. Whisk in 3 tbsp flour and gradually whisk in chicken broth stirring constantly add pepper, basil,paprika and nutmeg.
4. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are tender.
5. Whisk milk with 1 tbsp flour and whisk into soup.
6. Heat til bubbling again.
