Serves 4
2 large leeks (white parts only)
1 lb. potatoes (about 3 medium), peeled and diced
1 Tb. butter
2 cups chicken broth
Pepper, to taste
Salt, if desired
1 cup skim milk
2 Tbs. minced parsley
1/2 cup grated cheddar (2 oz.)
Separate and wash the leeks well. Slice the white parts into 1/2-inch pieces. In a large saucepan, saute the potatoes and leeks in the butter for several minutes, stirring. Add the broth, pepper, and salt. Bring the chowder to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or till the vegetables are tender.
Add the milk gradually, and heat the chowder gently but do not boil. Stir in the parsley. Garnish with a generous sprinkle of cheese.
