Creamy Potato-Leek Soup

from Alex Jamieson’s The Great American Detox Diet via Care2

I first had potato-leek soup in Ireland. During a day long bus tour we stopped at a quintessential pub and ate quintessentially Irish food. Many of my classmates had the full breakfast: blood sausage, beans, eggs, indigestion… and I had a bowl of potato-leek soup. It was delicious and for a moment, warming myself next to the peat fire, I didn’t feel quite so homesick. Since then, potato leek soup has had a special place in my heart and this recipe with the addition of rosemary is the best I’ve ever had. It is creamy and full flavored without any of the dairy traditionally used.
