Curried Leek Soup

 This was so yummy.  This recipe by Arnold Foss of Mercer Maine was submitted to Taste of Home.  When I made this, I used regular evaporated milk because that is what I buy. I've also tried it with vegetable broth and it was still great.

Curried Leek Soup

3 medium leeks (white portion only), thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 can (14 1/2 oz) chicken broth
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced carrots
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 can (12 oz) fat-free evaporated milk

In a 3 qt saucepan, saute leeks and garlic in butter over medium heat until tender. Add the broth, water, carrots, celery, bouillon, curry powder and pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Cool slightly.

Place 1 cup soup in a blender or food processor; cover and rocess until smooth. Return to pan. Add milk; heat through but do not boil. Yield: 4 servings.
