Directions:
Wash leeks carefully under cool running water. Slice the white part of the leeks and put them in a heavy pot with the butter. Add the onion and cook over medium heat until the onion begins to turn translucent. Add the potatoes to the pot. Add the cans of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to low. Simmer for an hour. When the mixture has cooled, run it though a blender. This is called vichyssoise concentrate. Store this in the refrigerator and just before serving mix in the cream.
