| 1/2 cup | unsalted butter |
| 1 cup | thinly sliced onions |
| 1 cup | thinly sliced leeks |
| 4 cups | potatoes, peeled and sliced |
| 6 cups | chicken stock |
| 1 teaspoon | salt |
| 2 | turns freshly ground black pepper |
| 1/2 cup | grated cheddar cheese |
| 4 slices | crisp-cooked bacon, drained and crumbled |
| 1/2 cup | chopped fresh chives |
Directions:
Melt the butter in a large heavy pot over low heat. Add the onions and leeks and stir to cover them with butter. Cover the pot and cook slowly to allow the vegetables to sweat about 20 minutes.
Add the potatoes, stir them into the butter, cover the pot and cook over low heat another 15 minutes. Stir in the stock, salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium high and bring the soup to a slow boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 20-30 minutes. In a food processor or blender, puree the soup in batches and return it to the pot. Heat thoroughly. Serve garnished with cheddar cheese, bacon and chives.
