Step by Step Method
Step 1
Clean the leeks, washing away all the sand, trim the coarse tops, saving as much of the top as is tender, and slice thin.
Step 2
Save several slices of leek for garnish.
Step 3
Saute the potatoes and leeks in the butter over medium heat in a 6-quart stock pot for 5 minutes or until edges are golden.
Step 4
Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes.
Step 5
Add all the seasonings and milk and continue simmering for at least another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Add the cream and check for salt, adding more if desired. Heat thoroughly. Garnish with parsley and or a few slices of leek on top of each bowl.
Step 7
Yield: 8 cups (or 4 servings)
