Add to Dutch oven with the remaining chunky soup. Stir in the cream and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until the soup is slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Make a bouquet garni: First wrap bay leaves, rosemary, parsley, and peppercorns in a piece of cheesecloth. Then tie with a piece of kitchen twine, and set aside.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a medium stockpot. Add celery, leeks, shallots, and garlic; cook on medium-low heat until very soft, about 45 minutes, stirring only occasionally. Do not brown. Add potatoes, stock, and reserved bouquet garni. Bring mixture to a boil, and then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until potatoes are very tender, about 40 minutes. Remove bouquet garni, and discard.
- Working in batches, pass half of the soup through a food mill, fitted with a medium disk, into a large saucepan. Add remaining chunky soup. Place the saucepan on medium-low heat to warm soup. Slowly stir in milk and cream, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Heat the butter in a large wide pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, leeks and onion and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and not browned, about 12 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high, pour in the wine and continue to cook, uncovered, until almost dry, about 4 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, bay leaf, thyme, 7 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, covered, until the potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
- Remove and discard the thyme and bay leaf. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and carefully puree until smooth, taking care not to fill the carafe more than half full per batch, or puree with an immersion blender in the pot. Reheat the soup over medium heat until steaming.
- Whisk in the cream and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, a drizzle of oil and a frizzled leeks or shallot if using.

Steps:
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the leeks and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until soft and wilted, about 10 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary so as not to brown.
- Add the potatoes, broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper to pot and bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft.
- Fish out the thyme sprig and bay leaves, then purée the soup with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, use a standard blender to purée the soup in batches; see note.) Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If soup is too thin, simmer until thickened. If it's too thick, add water or stock to thin it out. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Note: If using a standard blender to purée the soup: be sure not to fill the jar more than halfway; leave the hole in the lid open and cover loosely with a dishtowel to allow the heat to escape; and pour blended soup into a clean pot.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen, without the cream, for up to 3 months. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. Once heated through, add the cream and bring to a simmer before serving.

Steps:
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
- Add potatoes, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until squash start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
- Add cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
- Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree (adding fresh rosemary)until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
- Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

POTATO LEEK ROSEMARY SOUP
Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter in a soup pot. Add the leeks and stir well. Cover the pot and cook until leeks reduce in size and are very tender. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. 2. Add the flour and mix well to incorporate the flour with the butter. Add the hot water and sherry and whisk well to remove any lumps. Add the potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt and mix well. Return the pot to medium heat and cover. Let cook until the potato slices are tender. 3. Add the peppercorns, cream and milk to the soup. Mix well, reduce the heat to low and cover. Let the soup cook until it thickens slightly. Be careful with this soup. It can scorch and leave a burnt flavor. Keep the heat lower than you would normally. If you feel something sticking to the bottom of the pan, reduce the heat and gently ease the items up. If you find any burnt pieces while stirring the soup, pick them out and discard them. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning to taste. 4. Served with chopped green onions and pat of butter.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For a creamy texture, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. For a firmer texture, use waxy potatoes like Red or New Potatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When sautéing the leeks and potatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh rosemary adds a delicious flavor to this soup. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.
- Don't boil the soup: Bring the soup to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the soup for at least 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped chives, or a drizzle of olive oil.

This potato leek rosemary soup is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking.
