Follow this
recipe or your soup might taste like a moron made it!

butter
3 nice leeks
6 cups of veal or white stock
7 or 8 midwestern united states potatoes
salt and freshly ground white pepper
1/2 cup of heavy cream
day old French bread
Clean leeks
well and chop. Brown in half of the butter but don't burn
the leeks unless you want a black soup that tastes like a
moron made it.

and potatoes to a soup pot and boil for an hour or until the
potatoes are extremely soft.
Meanwhile,

the liquid and potatoes, then whisk in heavy cream reserving
a few tablespoons of cream.

top.
