6 red potatoes

1 carrot

1 onion

2 cloves garlic

1 leek

1 stick butter

2 32oz box of veggie broth

2 of above of water

Salt, pepper, turmeric

Melt a stick of butter on low medium in a big stock pot.

While it's melting, dice the onion and garlic and throw it it. Stir to coat in melted butter.

Up the heat to medium and cook until the onions start to go clear, stir occasionally to keep them from burning.

Wash the potatoes well. Dice em up in chunks roughly the size of the end of your thumb. *Do not dice thumb.*

Add potato chunks to buttery onions and stir to coat them in buttery onions.

Wash and chop the carrot, and throw that in too.

Add liquids and put the heat to high to bring the whole thing to a boil. Stir occasionally. Add salt, pepper, turmeric, whatever other spices you want here.

While waiting for it to boil, slice the leek, then give it a good rinse in cold water. (Leeks always seem to have so much dirt in them.)

Once at a boil, add half of the leeks, cover, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
