Potato and Leek Chowder

Sorry everyone I've been sick this terrible flu has been going around and I've got it all in my chest ugh! Oh well perfect time for soup! I decided to make a nice potato soup chowder to make me feel better.

I basically used what veggies I had hanging out in my fridge and cupboard.

Ingredients:
5 yellow potatoes
3 medium carrots
1 leek and yes the greens too
3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup of red pepper
1/4 cup of green pepper
1/4 cup of butter (optional) you can use Extra Virgin Olive Oil for this part.
1 teaspoon of either dry or fresh thyme I only had dry.
2 tablespoons of flour
2 cups of milk
1/2 cup of water
64 oz of vegetable broth

Directions:
Take butter and put in pot and melt on medium heat add diced garlic, leek, greens and bulb all cut up finely chopped, thyme, carrots and peppers. Cook until translucent and tender.
Add broth, cut up potatoes, and let simmer for about an hour till potatos are tender. Next bring to a boil mix flour and water whisk and slowly pur in soup. (this is what makes it chowder) then add milk and let simmer another five mins or so till soup has thickened some. Serve!

This chowder is so easy to make and best part is you can add whatever veggies you like! Enjoy!
