Directions

Step 1

Trim and wash the leeks, be sure to get all the sand out.

Step 2

Add olive oil to 4-quart pot and cook the leeks slowly, for 5 minutes, covered, stirring from time to time, until mushy.

Step 3

Add 3 pounds of diced potatoes and 5 cups chicken broth. Cover and simmer the soup for 25 minutes. Add all spices. Add 1 pound of whole mushrooms and simmer, covered, for 10 more minutes.

Step 4

Pour two cups of soup into a blender and blend for about a minute, using high speed. Add another cup and blend some more. Continue until half the soup is blended. Pour blended soup back into stock pot.

Step 5

Thin the soup with the milk or cream, and slowly return to a boil. If a thinner soup is desired, add more milk.
