Steps:
- Chop the leeks into small pieces.
- In a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and a heavy pinch of salt and sweat for 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook until the leeks are tender, approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the potatoes and the vegetable broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer until the potatoes are soft, approximately 45 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, buttermilk, and white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately, or chill and serve cold.
LEEK AND POTATO CHOWDER
This recipe is my tribute to James Crockett, the host of 'Crockett's Victory Garden' on PBS in the 1970's. Jim would raise leeks the size of baseball bats and brag about leek and potato soup. His skill in teaching gardening inspired me to pursue a career in horticulture. This version of your soup is my tribute to you.

Steps:
- Clean leeks by cutting off the roots and the tips of the leaves. Make a vertical cut from the root end to the tops, being careful to not cut through completely. The leeks will now open like the pages of a book, and any mud can be cleaned out between the leaves under the faucet. Slice the cleaned leeks into quarter-inch strips.
- Melt half the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute leeks in hot butter until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes; transfer to a slow cooker.
- Melt remaining butter in the same skillet over low heat. Gradually whisk flour into the melted butter until the mixture forms a clump of dough. Slowly stream chicken broth into the skillet, continually whisking until the broth is entirely incorporated; pour over the mixture in the slow cooker. Add bacon and potatoes to the slow cooker. Season mixture with salt and pepper; stir.
- Cook on Low until the potatoes are soft, stirring water into the mixture if it gets too thick, at least 2 hours. Stir half-and-half into the mixture and continue cooking for 1 hour more.

LEEK AND POTATO SOUP WITH CLAMS
Steps:
- To cook the clams, place them in a heavy large skillet. Cover with the water and wine. Bring to a boil, cover the skillet, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally. With tongs, remove the clams that have opened and place them on a tray. Recover and cook for up to 3 to 4 more minutes. Discard any clams that have not opened. Line a fine sieve with a dampened paper towel. Strain the cooking liquid through the sieve into a heavy large saucepan.
- For the soup, add the leeks and potatoes to the saucepan with cooking liquid. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, for about 15 minutes. Add the cream. Coarsely mash the potatoes in the broth to thicken, using a mallet or potato masher. Season with salt and pepper. (This can be prepared ahead and cooled. Cover the clams and soup and set aside at cool room temperature for up to several hours.)
- To serve, remove the clams from their shells and mince. Pour any liquid from the shells back into the soup through the sieve and discard the shells. Thin the soup with additional liquid if necessary. Bring to a boil, stirring over medium-high heat. Add minced clams. Ladle into 4 soup bowls. Sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
LEEKY-FISH CHOWDER
This is my fish chowder with leeks and corn. This recipe is kosher and is a dairy meal, so I used a vegetarian chicken-flavored stock. (The brand is Imagine "no-chicken" stock and can be found in the health food section of the grocery store). This is a great heavy chowder for cold rainy days. The ingredients are inexpensive and the whole thing is prepared in one pot, so there is very little cleanup! Enjoy!

POTATO, CORN, AND LEEK CHOWDER
After experimenting recently with soups, I made this one and my family loved it. Using Frozen or Fresh Corn, a flour and milk roux instead of cream makes this soup a tad more heathlier and lower in calories. It's actually good for you. Make it creamy by puree it in the blender. In 30 minutes you have made a fabulous chowder.

- Top with additional Parmesan cheese, I also add parmesan croutons.
- Enjoy with the family on soup night!
- *Cleaning leeks:.
- *You need to thoroughly clean the leek. First, wash the outside of the leek. Then slice off the fibrous green top, leaving the white to light-green stalk. Cut leek in half down to the root. Don't cut all the way through the root at this point. Then clean both "halves" under running tap water to remove any dirt that has accumulated inside. For this recipe, slice the cleaned halves down to where it's attached to the root, and discard the root.
