Potato and leek soup



This soup is like a warm potato hug, especially now that the weather is getting really cold. I made veggie stock first (tomato, carrots, onion, garlic, celery, green pepper and beats simmered 45 mins and strained). For the potato soup I cut up the potatoes and leek, then cooked them down in the stock. It was kind of funny, the beats made my veggie stock bright pink and it turned the potatoes pink.When I added the cream to it, it turned bright baby pink. I thought I was going to have pink soup. Once I blended everything together and added a little more cream it was the right color. Added some salt and there it was a bowl of potato happiness.  Topped off with some chives.
