Leek Soup

Ingredients

4 stalks of leeks
1.5 chicken boullion cubes
1.5 tbsps flour
2.5-3.5 cups water
1 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste

This is a remarkably simple but damn good soup.

Wash the leeks thoroughly, and slice each stalk lengthwise. Chop them up as best you can, starting from the root- stop when you reach the green part at the top.

Add the butter to a preheated saucepan, and throw on the leeks. Sautee at low heat until cooked through and soft (about 5 mins). Toss into a blender, add the bouillion cubes, and flour to thicken. Add water as necessary for desired consistency. Liquify.

Pour the soup back into a saucepan to reheat. Allow the soup to come to a boil (about 5 mins). Add salt and pepper to taste.

Wilde Oscar says: You can steam potatoes and added them while blending to turn this into a leek and potato soup if that's more your taste.
