Default Sausage and Leek Soup

I fixed this for lunch today and it was GREAT! It is pictured here: http://buttoni.wordpress.com/2011/0...sage-leek-soup/

INGREDIENTS:

8 oz. pork sausage
1 c. leeks, washed and chopped
2 T. butter, unsalted
1 10-oz can chicken broth, low-sodium
1½ c. water
2 T. Boursin Cheese, garlic and herb flavor
2 T. pimiento, chopped
¼ c. parsley, chopped
Dash salt and pepper
1/3 c. cream

DIRECTIONS: Cut leek lengthwise and rinse dirt from between leaves very will. Dirt hides incredibly in these things and trust me, it WILL be there even if the outsides appear to be clean. Chop leaks and set aside. Heat pot over high heat (I use a non-stick pot) and brown sausage, crumbling as it browns. Add butter and leeks and sauté, stirring until leeks are getting tender. Lower heat to medium and add all remaining ingredients but the cream. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to blend flavors. Add cream and if a thicker soup is desired, thicken with your favorite thickener. I usually use xanthan gum to thicken mine a bit, sprinkling it on and stirring to allow it to thicken right up.
