C-M's No Milk Potato Soup

Ok..I cheat on this

* 1 envelope Knorr leek soup mix*
* 2 large baking potatos
* 4 large carrots, as far as I am concerned the more carrots , the better I like it..
* 1 cup chopped leeks, leaves and all
* 1 stalk celery
* handful of parsley
* salt and pepper to taste
* Add some dried instant potatoes to thicken
* for meat eaters you can slice in some good sausage

Prepare the Knorr soup mix according to their directions in a large pot. Cube and chop 
all veggies, sautee with the leeks in a bit of olive oil for a few minutes. Add to the 
leek soup mix. Add seasoning and parsley and meat if you like to. Thicken with instant 
potatoes.* That's it. I can not tolerate milk well, so this is my version of potato soup

* BTW, I use instant potatoes to thicken gravies etc. all the time..
* Instead of the Knorrmix, I've also used veggie boullion mix.
