WeightWatchers Creamy Potato-Leek Soup Recipe

I love to eat this potato leek soup all year long, but especially on cold winter days. It has such a nice creamy texture thanks to the milk and Philadelphia cream cheese. Serving suggestion: top with crumbled bacon slices and serve with saltine crackers.

Ingredients

2 lb. baking potatoes (about 4), peeled, cubed
4 large leeks (1-1/2 lb.), cut into ¼-inch thick slices
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1-1/4 qt. (5 cups) water
½ cup milk
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, cubed
¼ cup chopped fresh chives
1 tsp. salt

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven on medium heat.
