Potato-Leek Soup

This is the easiest soup ever. Seriously, five ingredients counting water and salt. And it produces a soup that tastes so much better than these five simple ingredients have any right to be. It's magic soup.

Potato-Leek Soup
Recipe originally from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison

2 tbsp earth balance margarine
1.5 lbs leeks, white and light green parts only, washed and chopped
1.5 lbs potatoes (yukon golds are nice), sliced into thin, bite-size pieces
7 c water
1.5 tsp salt

Melt the margarine in a large pot over medium heat; add the potatoes and leeks and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add water and salt and bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, for about 30 minutes. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

Makes 6 large servings.

Oh man, that looks so good with the chunks. The only time I ever had potato-leek soup was when I got my wisdom teeth out and my Mom had to puree it. Haha.

Wow, this looks so good! And so simple! I love it. I've been on such a cooking hiatus, but really want to try this =)

I love simple, this sounds perfect. Seems like in the winter all I ever want is soups and stews.

i'm making it now, but i'm trying it in a crock pot so it can simmer all day and bring out the full flavors.
