Potato Leek Soup
I make this pareve during the year but I save the dairy one especially for Shavuos!! I use Yukon Gold potatoes, heavy cream & butter, but during the year I use any potatoes, onions instead of leeks, margarine or olive oil instead of butter & pareve whipping cream or creamer instead of heavy cream. If you want you can serve this the French way as Vichyssoise, especially if it's very hot outside.

Separate solids from liquids & put solids into blender or food processor with some of the liquid(If you have an immersion blender you can just do this all in the pot).

I made this tonight, it was fantastic! I added broc and used milk instead of cream. Then added a dollop of sour cream, chives and cheddar on top.
