Easy Potato and Leek Soup Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Potato Soup Recipes. (Easy Potato and Leek Soup Recipe). A quick and easy soup that tastes great. I like to take a potato masher and roughly mash some of the potatoes. This helps to thicken the soup. I also like to use seasoned chicken broth. You can use heavy cream or half-and-half, depending on how rich you want the soup to be.
