Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400.
- For crispy leeks, toss two leeks with seasonings in a bowl. Add a little olive oil to lightly coat the leeks. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake 15-20 minutes, until crispy. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
- For chowder, heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add two leeks, celery and thyme. Sauté until soft, about 10 minutes. Add broth, potatoes and corn. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a sturdy simmer. Cook for 20 minutes until potatoes are tender. Remove half the soup, and place in a blender. Puree until smooth. Return to the pot.
