CHEESY POTATO LEEK SOUP
This recipe is an offshoot of the more classical potato leek soups. This is sort of a meat-and-potatoes type of recipe! It has a lot of cheese in it and can be served chunky or smooth. It is a family-favorite!

Steps:
- Melt butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute leeks, onion, garlic, bay leaves, and coriander in hot butter and oil until softened and translucent, about 7 minutes. Add potatoes and chicken bouillon to the pot and pour enough chicken stock over the top to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Mash potatoes to desired consistency with a potato masher. Stir Colby-Monterey Jack cheese and cream into potato mixture, return soup to a simmer, and cook until cheese melts and soup is hot, about 15 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and discard bay leaves.
- Ladle soup into bowls and top with chives.

Steps:
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the leeks and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until soft and wilted, about 10 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary so as not to brown.
- Add the potatoes, broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper to pot and bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft.
- Fish out the thyme sprig and bay leaves, then purée the soup with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, use a standard blender to purée the soup in batches; see note.) Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If soup is too thin, simmer until thickened. If it's too thick, add water or stock to thin it out. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Note: If using a standard blender to purée the soup: be sure not to fill the jar more than halfway; leave the hole in the lid open and cover loosely with a dishtowel to allow the heat to escape; and pour blended soup into a clean pot.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen, without the cream, for up to 3 months. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. Once heated through, add the cream and bring to a simmer before serving.

Steps:
- 1. Peel potatoes and cut into bite-size cubes. Prepare leeks: remove dark green leaves, cut in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through; thoroughly wash the white and light green part under cold water to remove any grit. Slice the leek thinly.

- 3. Drain into a colander and set aside.
- 4. Cook bacon until crispy; crumble and set aside.
- 5. In the same large pot, melt butter; add flour and salt and pepper. Blend with a wire whisk, and add milk gradually, stirring constantly with whisk.
- 6. When mixture begins to thicken, add the potatoes and leeks back into the pot, stirring until blended.
- 7. Add the crumbled bacon to the soup; mix well.
- 8. Add the cheese to the soup and mix well. Stir frequently until cheese is melted and soup is heated through.
- 9. Spoon into bowls and top with croutons if desired.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan or stockpot, bring cubed potatoes and chicken broth to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender (about 25 minutes). Meanwhile, place bacon pieces in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons of grease and set aside. Saute the leeks in the frying pan with the reserved bacon grease 8 minutes or until tender (if you didn't want to saute the leeks in bacon grease, you could use a tablespoon of butter or olive oil instead).
- When the potatoes are tender, stir in the fried leeks, heavy cream, bacon, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook on medium for 5 minutes. Then, stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheese and 2 tablespoons corn starch and remove from heat. You can always add more corn starch for a thicker soup. Serve hot.
