A+ Fitzgeralds Casino Potato Leek Soup image

Unbelievably rich award-winning recipe from Molly's Garden at the Fitzgerald's Casino in Reno. Before they closed their doors for good they passed out copies of the recipe to people who requested it. I've done an Internet search and could not find it so I dug through a year's worth of unfilled paperwork to relocate it. Saved now by the Zaar for all posterity....ENJOY!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out watery. I think I may have added too much liquid.

This soup was easy to make and very flavorful. I used a immersion blender to blend the soup and it came out very smooth. I will definitely be making this again.
