Was it milk based? I have often made potato and leek soup but I have different variations.

My recipe:
Go to the garden and dig some leeks, cut some parsley. Grab some potatoes from under the stairs. Scrub and dice the potatoes and leeks, put in a pot and cover with chicken stock. Bring to boil, simmer until done. Salt, pepper and a dash of nutmeg to taste. Swirl in some real cream or milk if you want. Sometimes I add a handful of celery in with the leek. Top bowls with a little minced parsley.

I would sweat the leak with some butter first.

I've tried the Jamie Oliver one before (http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/leek-and-potato-soup) and it was delicious. Not cream/milk based though

My friend does equal part turnips and potatoes. Plus some leeks
I hope some garlic.
There's water and/or broth involved covering everything.
And she uses her immersion blender.

SHe made some last week and it filled up her CANNING pot...
30 cups of soup

It was

This is the recipe I use:

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/potato-and-leek-soup-recipe2/index.html

It's always turned out very very nicely! It uses both bacon and cream.

Edited to add: When I use the "recipe calculator" of MFP, it comes out to ~250 cal/serving. Not sure if that's totally accurate.

Bump to read later. I absolutely ADORE leek and potato soup but have had a tough time finding it after I moved to Asia.
