- 2 1/2 lbs. yukon gold potatoes, cubed 1/2 inch
- 2 medium/large leeks, sliced and dirt removed (white & pale green parts only)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or 1/4 cup water (water saute)

Instructions
In a large pot or dutch oven, heat oil/water over medium-high. Add leeks and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add in herbs and spices, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in potatoes, beans, broth and salt & pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.

Serve topped with fresh chopped parsley. Great with your favorite crusty no knead bread or this easy gluten-free Socca Flatbread to soak up the juices!
Serves 4 – 6
NOTES:
You can change up the herbs here with what you have on hand. I really love the tarragon and savory here but starter cooks may not have them on hand so the herbs de provence and thyme will be great too!
