Potato, Leek, and Roasted Garlic Soup image

One night I was watching Emeril and he made a garlic soup. I made the garlic soup and enjoyed it, but decided I'd rather have something else in it rather than having to put bread in the soup to make it feel like it had substance. So I took what I knew of the garlic soup and I took what I knew of leek soup and a smashed them together.

Cut potatoes into small wedges and add to the pot. sauté for just a few seconds and salt and pepper. Cover with water. Add half of the qt of chicken stock. from here, you add water and stock to taste.

I'm not sure why, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

This soup is a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add some more broth next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland. I think I might have used too much water.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed this soup. The roasted garlic flavor really mellowed out the leeks.
