Categories: Soup
Yield: 1 Servings

2	tb	Butter
4		Leeks, white part only, cleaned well then sliced
5	lg	Russet potatoes, unpeeled and diced
1	qt	Vegetable stock
		Salt to taste
2	c	Milk
1/2	ts	Caraway seeds
2	tb	Fresh dill or 1 Tbsp. dried
		Pepper to taste
1	c	Grated Swiss cheese
1/4	c	Grated Parmesan cheese
3	tb	Plain yogurt
		Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

In a large stock pot, melt the butter and saute the leeks for 3 minutes. Add the potatoes, stock and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce theheat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Add the milk, caraway seeds, dill and pepper. Let simmer another 15 to 20 minutes; the soup should become thick and the potatoes should begin to fall apart. Stir in the cheeses and allow them to melt, then stir in the yogurt and heat through, but do not boil. Adjust the seasoning and serve piping hot, topped with parsley.
