Potato Leek Soup - GLOBAL GARDENS

Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes (Any kind but the blue ones, as your soup would turn out gray. Russets are the best.)
• 1/4 c. butter (or substitute olive oil)
• 2 1/2 c. sliced leeks (2-4 depending on the size of them)
• 2 medium cloves garlic
• Salt and pepper
• 3-4 c. chicken broth or water or veggie broth
• 1 small bunch Kale (1/2 of what we gave you….to taste. Too much might make your soup a little green)
• 4 thick slices bacon (suggested by Sarah)
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1/2 c. sour cream (or more milk if you want a healthier version)
• 1 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 T. thinly sliced scallions or chives (optional)
