We do our similar, but we don't use evaporated milk. If we want it chunky we just don't blend it. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

*Butter
*Leeks *Potatoes *Salt & Pepper *Stock *Milk *Spinach Slice the leeks and cook in the butter for a few minutes then add peeled and sliced potatoes. Add salt & pepper. Add the stock/water so it just covers it and boil till potatoes are done. Add the milk and bring to boil and stir, then blend. You might have to add some more water or milk depending on how thick it is. Then add the spinach (I use fresh as I find the frozen spinach adds to much water) and blend again. As a topping I chop and then fry some bacon with some chopped up spring onions in it. Of course you can do the same without the spinach but I like it as it tastes nice and fluffy and fresh!  ------------- Here we go again, another baby on it's way!

Stupid question, but What is evaporated milk?? These recipes sound great. I love a good soup and potatoes are my favourite food -------------

| You get evaporated milk in tins.It's next to the condensed milk etc on the shelves in the supermarket. |
