Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the margarine in a soup pot. Add the leeks and sauté over low heat, stirring often, until they are wilted, 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Add the potatoes, enough water to cover, and the bouillon cubes. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently until the potatoes are very tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
Remove 2 cups of the potatoes with a slotted spoon and mash coarsely. Return to the soup pot and stir in enough milk to achieve a medium-thick consistency. Season with salt and pepper. If time allows, let the soup stand off the heat for an hour or two to develop flavor. Heat through as needed, and serve.
