Brief Description
This soup is amazing. The beauty of it, there’s no dairy, although you’ll swear there is. You also use the whole leek, as the dark leaves have a lot of flavor also. You’ll catch on.

Directions:
1. Bring dark green leeks, broth and water to boil in large sauce pan. Reduce heart to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain broth through fine clothing medium bowl, pressing solids to recover all fluid, set aside. Discard dark leeks, clean sauce pan.
2. Melt butter in saucepan, low heat. Stir in leeks, onions, tsp salt. Stir frequently, cook until leeks are soft about ten minutes.
3. Increase heat to high, stir in reserved broth, potato, bay leaf, thyme and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until potato is tender., about ten minutes. Add toasted bread, and simmer until bread is completely saturated, and starts to breakdown, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove and discard bay leaf and thyme. At this point you want to blend everything. I have been using an emersion blender and it works fantastic, but you can take process in blender until creamy. Continue to heat, season with salt and pepper. I also add 1/2 cup white wine, optional.
