It’s hard to believe that just five ingredients can create such a flavorful soup. Buttery-tasting Yukon Gold potatoes, plenty of leeks and onions, and some chicken broth and freshly ground black pepper are all it takes to put this savory soup together. If you've never cooked with them before, to clean the leeks thoroughly, first cut off the roots and dark-green tops. Cut the leeks in half and rinse under cool running water, separating the sections and rubbing them to remove the sand and grit. Sometimes leeks come in various sizes; you’ll need about 2 1/2 pounds for this recipe. You can garnish the soup with 2 tablespoons of fresh chives if you like.
