Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 medium onions -- sliced
2 medium leeks -- trimmed, well washed, and sliced
4 medium boiling potatoes -- such as Yukon gold, peeled and sliced
4 cups broth -- store-bought, homemade, or water
4 cups water
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup cream

In a large slow cooker, combine the onions, leeks, potatoes, broth and
water. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or
until the vegetables are tender. Let cool slightly. Transfer the soup to a
blender and puree until smooth.

If you are serving the soup hot, reheat if necessary. Stir in the cream
and taste for seasoning. Serve hot or chill completely and serve cold.

VARIATIONS

heavy cream.
Serve hot or cold with a handful of chopped watercress stirred in.

Serve hot topped with crumbled mild blue cheese, such as Bleu d'Auvergne
or Maytag Blue.

AuthorNote: This potato and leek soup is a cook's dream, since there are
so many ways to vary it. I call it two-way because I like to serve it
either hot or cold, but you have several different options for changing
it.
