This is the best!!
1. Wash and chop up 1 leek. Peel 2 large russet potatoes and dice them. Heat 2 tbsp. butter in a soup pan and sauter the leek.After 10min. or so when leek becomes transparent, add diced potatoes and keep sautering another 10 min.
2. Add 1 can of chicken broth to the pan and bring to boil. Simmer until potatoes become tender and start falling apart.
3. Blend this mixture untill really smooth and then pour it back to the pan. Add half&half and stir.(adjust the amount of half&half to your prefered thickness) Heat it up again but do not boil this time. Add some whitepepper and salt for taste.
4. Serve hot with some chopped chives or parsley leaves sprinkled on top. This soup is delicious chilled in summertime. It's a traditional french soup called Vichicoise.

The recipe Chiha gave you is a good one and will produce a tasty soup. Just a couple of quibbles: It's spelled Vichysoisse, and you don't have to add any half-and-half or dairy at all unless you want to. I think it makes it too rich, but some people like it. Also, if you want, you can saute a small handful of finely chopped ham with the leek for extra flavor. Some chopped parsley stirred in just as you're serving it adds nice color and flavor.

Fat Man's Potato Soup
5 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
chicken or vegetable soup base or bouillion cubes, to make 2 cups liquid (but hold, to dilute in the milk)
3-4 large white potatoes
1-2 big leeks, chopped fine
1 stick butter
1 cup muenster cheese, grated
salt and pepper
Garnish: chopped chives or green onion and/or (optional) crisp fried bacon, crumbled
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and cream, then stir in the stock base or bouillon until it dissolves. Peel potatoes and grate directly into the milk. Keep the temperature of the broth low, as it will boil over easily. Stir in the leek, whisking to incorporate and thicken.
Once the mixture is nicely thickened, stir in the butter. Then, with the temperature still low, add the cheese, stirring until it melts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls, top with chives or green onion and/or crisp bacon bits, and serve immediately.
