POTATO LEEK SOUP

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes and cut them into 1 inch chunks.
• Place them in a soup pot or Dutch oven with the leeks, celery, carrot, water and salt.
• Bring to a boil, cover, and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes).
• Remove from heat, and let it cool until it's no longer too hot to puree.
• Puree the soup in a blender or food processor in batches.
• Return the puree to the pot.
• Stir in the milk.
• Add black pepper to taste and adjust salt if necessary.
• Serve hot or cold, possibly topped with a sprinkling of fresh hebs.
