Cook Time: Approximately 20 minutes

Heat the olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the leek and onion. Cook and stir until the vegetables are softened but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, potatoes and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Add the milk and remove from heat.

Purée the soup in batches in a blender or food processor. Return to the pot and, if necessary, thin with a little more milk or broth. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.
