2 large yukon potatoes peeled and cubed
4 cups vegetable stock
2-3 tsp fresh rosemary leaves (optional)

1. heat 4 quart soup pot over medium heat, add oil, leeks, onions, and salt and saute until onions are translucent (about 5 minutes)

2. add garlic and stir well for about 1 minute

3. add potatoes and veggie stock, cover, and bring to a boil.

4. Simmer and cook for 20 minutes

5. remove soup and let cool - blend with immersion stick or food processor while leaving some chunky.

Seriously Yum
