Potato And Leek Soup From The Tummies' Kitchen

Soup diet day 5 - There are known known potato and leek soups. These are potato and leek soups that we already know. There are known unknown potato and leek soups.... hold on a minute!  sorry I was watching a documentary about Donald Rumsfeld and his famous and hilarious quotes just won't leave me alone. I have to admit I have never eaten potato and leek soup before and since one of the tummies has requested it I thought I'd give it a crack. Here I am trying to make something new but also trying to tramp this old lady up a little, in a way it can be called the unknown unknown potato and leek soup haha!
