  • 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt
  • White pepper, to taste

In a large soup pot, over low heat, cover and sweat the leeks in butter for 5 minutes.

Add potatoes and stock, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are soft.

With a slotted spoon, remove solids and place in the  food processor.  Puree until smooth, keep adding broth to thin out, or use a handheld emulsion device.
