Year-Round

Yield: about 6 servings

1. Melt margarine in a soup kettle or Dutch oven, and sauté the leeks until tender. Add the stock and potato, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover lightly, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potato is tender

2. In the container of a blender or food processor, puree the soup, in batches, until smooth. Return to the pot. Add the half-and-half, and continue to cook over a low heat. (Do not allow to boil.) Remove from heat, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.

3. When ready, reheat the soup to a simmer, add all the cheeses at one time, and cook, stirring until melted and incorporated into the soup. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste, and ladle into bowls, sprinkle with croutons, and serve immediately.
