Equipment

  • 1 large soup pot
  • 1 potato peeler

Ingredients
  

  • 8 to 10 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup dried leeks (or fresh leeks if you prefer)
  • 3 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Badia Complete seasoning
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 48 to 50 oz water

Instructions
 

  • In a large soup pot, combine the potatoes, leeks, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, Badia Complete seasoning, and water.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for at least an hour, or until the potatoes are soft and tender.
  • Remove the pot from heat and carefully transfer the mixture to a food processor or use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
  • Now return back to the pot still on low heat. Stir in the cream cheese until fully melted and incorporated.
  • Serve warm with your favorite bread or crackers, or enjoy it as is!
