Potato Leek Soup

cube 3-4 russet potatoes
2 1/2 cups of sliced leeks
enough water to cover potatoes and leeks

Simmer until the potatoes are tender. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cool blend the entire mixture and top with fresh, crispy bacon or thyme.

Variation:
Saute 3-4 slices of bacon, remove the bacon from the pan and dump in the potatoes and leeks (follow recipe as above). Give a quick saute and near the end throw in a few tablespoons of freshly chopped sage. Follow directions as above.
