Cream of Leek Soup

Description: Remember to use the bottom parts of the leek only. The top green parts are not good, although I'm not really sure why. If you don't want to use vegetable broth, you can substitute chicken broth instead.

Ingredients:

• 8 cups leeks, chopped
• 4 large potatoes, roughly chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
• salt and pepper

Steps:

1. Place the vegetables and vegetable broth in a stock pot, or large pot and let it boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 45 minutes.
2. Once properly cooked, use the blender to blend in batches (use an immersion blender if you have so you can do it all at once).
3. Mix the milk and yogurt together and add half a cup of the soup so that the mixture won't curdle.
4. Add the mixture back into the soup and add the seasonings. Reheat the soup, until warm again, about 5 minutes.
