Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 large leeks, white and pale green parts, thoroughly rinsed, roughly chopped
1 quart (4 cups) homemade chicken stock or use low-sodium, good tasting, store-bought
2 russet potatoes, peeled, cut into quarters ~ about 3/4 - 1 pound
1 bay leaf
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper

1. Melt butter in large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until softened but not browned, about 10 to 12 minutes.
