Ingredients

2 Tablespoons 30 ml extra virgin olive oil
3 pound 1.3 kg leeks, cleaned, sliced
¾ teaspoon 0.75 teaspoon salt, optional
1 ½ pound 685 g russet potatoes, diced
3 cups 720 ml low fat 1% milk
2 cups 480 ml chicken stock
3 Tablespoons 45 ml fresh lemon juice

3 pound 1.3 kg leeks, cleaned, sliced
¾ teaspoon 0.75 teaspoon salt, optional

3 cups 720 ml low fat 1% milk
2 cups 480 ml chicken stock
3 Tablespoons 45 ml fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add leeks and salt, optional, then cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender but not brown (about 25 to 30 minutes).
Adjust heat as necessary and add a bit of water as needed to prevent sticking.
Add potatoes, milk, and stock to the pan. Bring mixture to a simmer (do not boil) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are very tender. Remove from heat.
Place potato mixture in two batches into the Vitamix container and secure the lid.
Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.
Blend each batch for 1 minute, 30 seconds until mixture is smooth. Season with additional salt, optional and fresh lemon juice and black pepper. Garnish with croutons and serve immediately.
