Potato Leek Soup

    I know I have made potato leek soup before but maybe I never posted it?  My blog is now my recipe book.  I refer back to it so often because it is so much easier than trying to remember where the original recipe might be.  My mom gifted me a bag of potatoes this week and my first thought was potato leek soup.  It is so simple and so delicious.  Mashed potatoes are one of my favorite foods but mashed potatoes for lunch is not always be best idea.  Potato leek soup is the next best thing!
