Leek Soup

This soup tasted so great on these cool damp days.

Ingredients:


1 cup leeks-the white part, chopped-wash well as there is much dirt in leeks



  • 1 cup of unflavored rice or soy milk


  • 2/3 cup of vegetable broth-I used my home made broth


  • 1/4 cup of unflavored soy creamer


  • 3 Tablespoons Earth Balance Butter


  • 1 teaspoon Wylers Chicken no sodium Bullion


  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced


  • Freshly ground black pepper


  • chopped chives for garnish
Directions:



  1. In a suitable kettle , melt the butter over medium heat.


  2. Cook the leeks for 5 minutes


  3. Add the broth and bullion. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat.


  4. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes


  5. Stir in the milk and cream


  6. Add mashed sweet potato


  7. Add freshly ground black pepper


  8. Serve warm garnished with chives. The chive blossom is edible also if not sprayed with chemicals

Enjoy!!
