Title: Hot Potato Cheese Soup
Keywords: Soups

      2 Tb Butter
      4    Leeks, white part only, cleaned well and sliced
      5 lg Russet potatoes, unpeeled, diced
      1 qt Vegetable stock
   many  Chopped ripe serranos
            (or cayennes or _prik ki nu_, but serrano flavor does
                  especially well here)
            Salt to taste
      2 c  Milk or soymilk
    1/2 ts Caraway seeds (optional but good)
      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  butter and saute leeks for 3 minutes. Add
potatoes, stock and salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, 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 cheeses and allow
them to melt, then stir in the yogurt and heat through, but do not
boil. Adjust seasoning and serve hot, topped with parsley.
