Instructions
- In a medium heavy bottomed pot, heat olive oil on medium-low and then add leeks. Saute gently until translucent but not browned.
- Add potatoes, water and bay leaf and simmer, stirring occasionally, approximately 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are soft enough to mash easily.
- With potato masher, ricer or the back of your large spoon, mash the soup until it is creamy and fairly smooth. This should be fast and easy once the potatoes are cooked properly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. ( I used 2 teaspoon salt) Serve in bowls and garnish as desired with chopped chives, parsley or other fine herbs from the garden or a swirl of cream.
Notes
- *Ensure you have cleaned your leeks well by cutting them in half lengthwise and then rinsing between the layers well to catch any hidden dirt.
- *If you choose to simmer this longer it will get thicker and you may need to add a bit of water to achieve desired consistency. It will not harm the flavor though.

- *Do not mash potatoes until they are all cooked as the soup will burn easily once it is creamy.
