---|
In a large pot, combine potatoes, leeks, carrots, bay leaf, thyme,
salt and pepper. Add broth and enough water to cover vegetables.
Bring to a boil. Turn heat to simmer and cook until vegetables are
soft.
In a separate pan, heat milk. When vegetables are soft, add milk to
vegetable mixture.
Make a roux, or paste, by combining the oil and flour. Stir into hot
soup, a tablespoon at a time, allowing several minutes of cooking
between each addition until soup reaches desires thickness. Remove
bay leaf before serving.
