How To Make potato and leek soup

Step 1

Add the vegetables to the salted, boiling water and cook, covered at a light boil until the potatoes begin to cook apart or until, when one is pressed against the side of the saucepan with a wooden spoon, it offers no resistance to crushing--- about 30-40 minutes

Step 2

Add the butter at the moment of serving, after removal from the heat.
