Let cream cheese sit a room temp to soften, then add to double boiler (add a little milk to the double boiler so the cream cheese doesn't stick. Keep heat low/med and be careful not to let cream cheese boil. Add a little milk as needed to keep moist. Bring chicken stock to a boil. Have potatos cooking while you are doing all of this too. Drain potatos when they're done. In a large stock pot add sauteed vegetables, chicken stock, half and half, potatos and stir until they're happy. Add cream cheese slowly and stir in. Let contents simmer for about 10 minutes. You may garnish with fresh chives, ground pepper. This makes about 1 gal. of soup. Enough for everybody. Additionally, a grilled ham and cheese is wonderful with this soup.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I actually really enjoyed this soup. The leeks were cooked perfectly and they didn't have any of that strong oniony flavor that I usually find off-putting.
