List of Ingredients




1/4 cup salted butter

3 cups chicken stock

1 cup thinly sliced leeks

1 1/2 pounds potatoes (4 to 5 medium), sliced 1/4 inch thick

6 cups coarsely chopped spinach

1-cup heavy cream

Chef Johnny’s E-Z Season to taste (I use steak seasoning)

Sour cream for garnish



Recipe



In a 3-quart saucepan over high heat, melt the butter in 1 cup of the chicken stock. Add leeks then cover and simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and the remaining chicken stock; bring to boil and cook until potatoes are tender, approximately 15 minutes. Just before serving, add the spinach and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and bring slowly up to serving temperature. Season with E-Z Season. Serve hot, garnished with a swirl of sour cream.
