1 t. Thyme

4 cloves of garlic minced

1 cup half and half

Juice of one lemon

1 T. Trader Joe’s Multi purpose Umami Seasoning

1 T. Trader Joe’s Cuban Style Citrusy Garlic Seasoning

Melt the butter in a big stockpot. Add the leeks and cook on medium, stirring regularly For five minutes. Add the garlic and the Thyme 1 t. Salt and a bunch of black pepper. Continue cooking for another five minutes.

Add the chicken broth and the potatoes. Simmer for 20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through.

Remove pot from heat and using a immersion blender, blend the soup. Add the cream, lemon juice and seasoning. Taste for salt and add More Traders Joes seasoning as you like.
