Potato and Leek Soup

I really like soups...especially really creamy and hearty soups. I found this one on Allrecipes and it is fabo!! I cut it in half for the 4 of us (b/c my girls aren't too much on soups quite yet). The recipes as is below makes 8 servings.

1 c butter
2 leeks, thinly sliced
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp cornstarch
4 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups heavy cream

1. In large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Cook leeks in butter adding salt and pepper to taste, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes.
2. Stir cornstarch into broth in a separate bowl. Then add to pot.
3. Add potatoes and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper (I only added a little more pepper).
4. Pour in cream, reduce heat and simmer at least 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Serioulsy, the recipe was super easy to make and OH SO GOOD!!! We ate it with some fresh sundried tomato bread!! Hope you enjoy it too.
