I found this for you on the internet:

Potato Leek Soup
A creamy soup with a strong leek flavor.
INGREDIENTS
225 g butter
2 leeks, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
945 ml chicken broth
8 g cornstarch
620 g Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
475 ml heavy cream
DIRECTIONS
In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Cook leeks in butter with salt and pepper until tender, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
Stir cornstarch into broth and pour broth into pot. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the cream, reduce heat and simmer at least 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper before serving
And another one just in case you wanted a choice:

Potato Leek Soup
This soup can be made even better with the addition of crumbled bacon.
8 servings
PREP TIME 30 Min
COOK TIME 45 Min
READY IN 1 Hr 30 Min
INGREDIENTS
18 small red new potatoes
1420 ml chicken broth
3 leeks, chopped
45 g butter
475 ml milk

DIRECTIONS
Place potatoes into a large saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Meanwhile, saute leeks in butter until translucent.
When potatoes are done, skin them while they are still hot and cut them into bite sized pieces. Place potatoes into a stock pot with chicken broth and leeks. season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until simmering, then remove from heat and stir in milk. Serve immediately.

Thanks! I prefer the second one...sounds more healthier without the cream....

My preference is for the Delia recipe. I have made leek & potato soup with, and without onions and definitely find that some gently sauteed onion intensifies the flavour of the soup. It's one of my favourite winter receipes, especially served with lots of mature grated cheese on top.
