Steps:
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the leeks and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until soft and wilted, about 10 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary so as not to brown.
- Add the potatoes, broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper to pot and bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft.
- Fish out the thyme sprig and bay leaves, then purée the soup with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, use a standard blender to purée the soup in batches; see note.) Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If soup is too thin, simmer until thickened. If it's too thick, add water or stock to thin it out. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Note: If using a standard blender to purée the soup: be sure not to fill the jar more than halfway; leave the hole in the lid open and cover loosely with a dishtowel to allow the heat to escape; and pour blended soup into a clean pot.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen, without the cream, for up to 3 months. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. Once heated through, add the cream and bring to a simmer before serving.

Steps:

HEARTY POTATO AND LEEK SOUP
This soup is really good in the fall, when the weather is turning cool. If you want to make it lighter, leave out the sausage and white beans. Prep time does not include soaking the beans overnight.

Steps:
- Wash and sort the beans the night before. Place them in a pot and cover them with 2 inches of water. Let them soak overnight (or all day if you are preparing for dinner).
- Pour the soaking water off the beans and then add water to cover by at least 1 1/2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- While the beans are cooking, trim the leaks and wash with cold water, being careful to wash away the dirt deep in the tops. Slice the leeks in half lengthwise and chop into 1 inch pieces.
- In a large stockpot melt the 6 tbsp butter and cook the leeks on medium-low heat until tender.
- Sprinkle the flour over the leeks. Cook for 2 minutes. Increase the heat to high and stir in the chicken stock.
- Add the potatoes, sliced sausage, cooked white beans, and creole seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the potatoes and beans are tender. Use a paper towel to absorb any grease from the sausages that has accumulated on the top of the stockpot. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Taste first -- the sausage will add some salt to the soup) If desired, add the remaining stick of butter before serving. (I usually skip this).

Steps:
- Place the turkey legs into a large soup pot, and pour in chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, then simmer until the turkey meat begins to fall from the bones, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove the turkey legs, then drain and reserve the broth. Separate the turkey meat from the bones and tendons, and set aside.
- Place the bacon into the soup pot over medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon pieces and drain on paper towels; set the bacon aside. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the pot. Cook and stir the leeks in the bacon drippings over medium heat until soft and wilted but not brown, about 5 minutes, then add the potato cubes, thyme, salt, black pepper, and reserved broth. Reduce heat, then simmer the mixture until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
- Pour the leek and potato mixture into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
- Mix in the cream, then stir in the reserved turkey meat. Heat over medium-low heat until the soup is hot; garnish each serving with a few pieces of bacon.

POTATO KIELBASA LEEK SOUP
I like the leek soup mix but I wanted to bulk it up with meat and vegetables. I combined a few recipes to come up with this one. I like that it's simple, at least once I learned not to boil the milk. It still tastes OK of the milk boils, just not the perfect texture.
