One of my favorite soups is potato leek soup with basil. In fact I never even want to make it without the basil. And yes, this soup is still delicious cold!

Ingredients:

1 lb potatoes
3 leeks
1/2 cup chopped basil
olive oil
salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Slice leeks to rounds
2. Chop potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes
3. Heat some olive oil in a soup pan and add the potatoes and leek rounds, sauté until somewhat browned
4. Add 3 cups of water (or more if desired)
5. Let simmer until potatoes are completely cooked
6. Salt and Pepper to taste
7. Add chopped basil
8. Enjoy hot or cold
