The ingredients for Julia Child's Potato Leek Soup are:

3-4 cups of yukon gold potatoes (1 lb.), peeled and chopped
3 cups of leeks, white and green parts, thinly sliced and rinsed
1 tbsp of salt (I used kosher)
2 quarts (8 cups) of water (you can also use vegetable stock if you prefer that flavor)
6 tbsp heavy cream or 3 tbsp softened butter
3 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley, for garnish (optional, but very tasty)

Here is how you make Julia Child's Potato Leek Soup:

1. Combine potatoes, leeks, water, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 40-50 minutes. 2. Using an immersion blender or potato masher, pulverize the soup until it is at the desired consistency. I like mine super smooth, but Julia liked hers a little chunky. 3. Finish by adding the cream or butter and stir to incorporate. Serve with chopped chives or parsley as a garnish. Makes 5 servings (for us, you might have more or less).Number of Servings: 5Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JEPAROO.
