**Vichyssoise

Yum, best thing ever!
A fancy name for an easy and hopefully tasty soup

2 cups 1 1/2 inch cubes raw potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic
about 1 1/2 cup leeks, cleaned and cut into 1 inch pieces
*3 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshy ground black pepper
pinch white pepper
*1-1 1/2 c half and half or just milk?

Notes:
1. Saute leeks in butter, add broth and simmer for 25 minutes, meanwhile potatoes should be boiling off while the leeks simmer.

2. Blend everything together, let cool and add milky stuffs (carefully, a bit at a time, testing; it barely needs it, could easily be veganized)

3. Serve with crumbled bacon, stir

Julia Child's tips/recipe:
equal parts potato and leeks
cream is not totally necessary, but a nice touch
mix everything together, simmer 25-30 minutes partially covered

Can't recall what route I took- I basically synergized two different recipes and styles of cooking because it's a very simple recipe that requires no tampering. The question is, cook the potatoes and leeks together or seperately, I believe I went with separate but I'm not totally sure...whoops.
