Ingredients:

* 2 leeks, tops removed and chopped fine
* 1 yellow onion, chopped fine
* 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
* 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes
* 1/4 cup cream
* 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
* 3-4 cups vegetable broth
* leaves from about 4-5 springs of thyme
* 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

In a stockpot, saute the leeks and onions in the olive oil and butter until soft. Add the garlic, 1/2 the thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute a few more minutes.
Add the potatoes and broth. (Add just enough broth to cover the potatoes plus about 1/4 of an inch.)
Simmer until the potatoes are tender.
Taste the broth and season with thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
Working in batches, do a rough puree of 3/4 of the soup in a food processor.
Add the puree back to the soup and add the cream and yogurt. Stir well.
Bring back to a simmer and season to taste.
