Potato Leek Soup


I started this with a recipie, now I just kind of make it up as I go...

Golden or white creamer potatoes - maybe 3 lbs
2 or 3 large leeks
8 C or so of chicken broth (I put whatever fits in my crock pot)
8 sprigs fresh thyme, parsley, or tarragon (I have only used thyme, because that is what grows in my yard)
1/2 cup cream, half and half, or milk

Scrub potatoes and place in bottom of crock pot. Add leeks, chopped in sections (white and light green parts only, well cleaned) and chicken broth. Add herbs and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Discard herbs, puree (an immersion blender works best). Stir in 1/2 cup of cream. Serve topped with cheese and bacon, if desired.
