INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Heat the olive oil or water in a large soup pot over medium heat.

STEP 2: Add the sliced leeks and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the leeks are softened.

STEP 3: Stir in the cubed potatoes, dried thyme or Herbes de Provence, and bay leaf. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
