Soup's On!

I needed something to do.  We needed something to eat.  Blizzard 2010's recipe of the day:  Potato Leek Soup.  (And it's baby friendly!)

What you need:  4 or 5 potatoes, 1 parsnip, 1 stalk of celery, and 1 carrot, cooked in 6 cups of chicken broth (or, if you're me, 3 cups of chicken broth, 3 cups of water, and 1 chicken buillion cube) until soft. In batches, place potatoes, parsnip, carrot, celery, and five cups of broth (in batches) in food processor or blender.  Meanwhile, saute 2 leeks (bulbs only) in 1/2 cup of butter, adding 1/4 cup of white wine.  Add leek mixture to one-cup reserved broth.  Add to that pureed potato mixture. Season with salt and pepper.  Simmer.  For fun:  garnish w/ sharp cheddar and bacon.  Serve with buttery, garlic-y bread.  Yum.
