Leek and Potato Soup

Fall soups using readily available vegetables from your own garden - nothing better! This Leek and Potato Soup is simple to make, has few ingredients but is big on taste. I also added a bit of chopped celery. I prefer to saute the celery, leeks and onions a bit before adding them to the stock with the potatoes.
