Ranch Style Potato Leek Soup





Mixed Green Salad
Crusty French Bread in the Bread Machine




Potato leek soup is a popular winter soup because it is filling and tasty. This recipe takes things a bit further by adding ranch flavor to the mix.

Soup ingredients:
  • 6 russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 leeks, washed and chopped (include the green parts)
  • 4 cups of low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups of evaporated skim milk
  • 1 package of ranch style dressing mix
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Bread ingredients:
  • Flour
  • Butter
  • Yeast

Salad ingredients:
  • Red leaf lettuce
  • Iceberg lettuce
  • 1 hard boiled egg, chopped
  • ¼ cup of grated cheese, any kind
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • ½ cucumber, sliced

In the morning:
Place the potatoes, leeks, broth, milk, ranch style dressing mix, and salt in the crockpot.
Stir together and cook on low 8-10 hours.
Put the ingredients for the bread in the bread machine. Set to the delay bake option.

In the afternoon:
Prepare the salad.
Remove the bread from the machine and allow it to cool a few minutes.
Smash the potatoes and leek with a potato masher before serving.

My family enjoys grated cheese on top of the soup.
