CHEFELLA'S NO-CREAM CREAM OF POTATO SOUP
It's cold! It is so cold where I live that I even had to wear my snow pants at recess the other day. It is cold when I get up, and cold when I go to school, and cold when I get home. I wondered what could make me warmer, and lucky for me I had just the recipe. I would make my no-cream cream of potato soup. This way I could take something healthy with me for lunch, and I could keep warm too. This is also a great recipe for anyone with allergies. So keep warm and enjoy the soup.

-Directions for cutting the leek are in step 5.
3 Cups. Vegetable Stock or Broth
2 Tbl. Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
2 tsp Kosher Salt
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
2 tsp Kosher Salt
3. With your potato peeler, peel your potatoes. Take your time. Keep the hand holding the potato away
from the peeler. Rinse your potatoes and put them on your cutting board. Throw the peels away in the
trash.
4. Cut your potatoes into quarters and then into 1 inch chunks. Put your potatoes in your pot. Fill the pot
with water until the potatoes are covered. Put the pot on the stove and turn on high heat. While the water is getting hot prep your leek following the directions in step 5. When the water begins to boil set your
timer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes add your cauliflower. Bring to a boil again and Cook the potatoes
and cauliflower for another 5 minutes. When done strain your potatoes and cauliflower through your
colander in the sink.
5. While the potatoes are cooking cut up your leek. Cut the leek one inch above the white part where the
leek begins to turn green. Throw the tough green end away. Then cut off the root end. Leeks can be
very dirty so it is important to wash them. Wash your leek and return to the cutting board. Cut the leek in
half lengthwise (the long way). Take one half of the leek and cut lenghwise again. Holding the quartered
leek together, flat side down, cut into thin half moon strips (The strips will actually be quarter moon strips.)
When done cut the other leek in half and cut into strips.
6. Pre-heat your saute pan on high. Add your olive oil and leeks. Turn the pan down to low and cook for
5 minutes stir occasionally so that the leek gets soft but does not burn.
7. Add your potatoes, cooked leeks, kosher salt, pepper, and garlic powder to your mixing bowl. Add one
cup of vegetable stock and turn the mixer on speed 1. Mix until all of the lumps are gone.
-NOTE: If you quit now the mixture in the bowl will be wonderful mashed potatoes, and you are done.
To finish the soup follow the rest of the directions.
