Potato and Onion Soup Recipe

In a heavy 4 quart pan melt 1/4 cup butter and onion until wilted. Add cleaned and sliced leeks potatoes water and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer partially covered for 45 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.

Remove from heat and cool if you want. Blend the cooked mixture until smooth. Return to the saucepan; add 1/4 cup butter cream and chives. Check for seasonings. Heat but do not boil or the cream will curdle.
