17. Potato Leek Soup

This was a recipe on a bag of Potato and Leek Soup Vegetables from Wegmans. I guess this was a little bit of cheating soup, but I happened to see the bag and thought I would give it a try.

2. Add broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered,15-20 min, until potatoes are tender.
3, Ladle small batches (about 2 cips at a time) into blender; puree until smooth. Return soup to pot; reheat on Low. Stir in cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
