Smokey Potato, Leek & Sausage Soup


I have had some red potatoes from our garden just begging to be used.  When I ran across some beautiful organic leeks, I knew just what to make!  I hope you enjoy this simple, satisfying recipe as much as we have enjoyed eating it!

Ingredients
3 leeks, white & light green sections sliced  (How to wash & prep leeks)
extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
salt & pepper
10 red potatoes cut into bite-sized chunks
4 chicken bouillon cubes
2 links smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch chunks (we used deer sausage)
Cavender's Greek Seasoning http://www.greekseasoning.com/

Drizzle EVOO into large skillet, add leeks & season with salt/pepper.  Saute on medium heat until leeks are tender and begin to caramelize.
 


Transfer softened leeks to a crockpot. Add potatoes, bouillon cubes, sausage pieces, and a generous amount of Cavender's (about 2-3 teaspoons).  Cover all ingredients with water.  Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4-6 hours.

This dish is great cooked over the weekend and reheated for a weeknight meal.  Serve with a good slice of toasty french bread and cold salad to make the perfect pairing!
