Potato Leek Soup

I visited the Be Our Guest restaurant at Magic Kingdom and had the most amazing potato leek soup. I had to recreate it when I got home because it was so delicious. At the restaurant, the soup is poured over homemade potato chip. I poured my soup over kettle chips from the grocery store and I will not do that again. The chips at Disney were much better and honestly the soup is great without the chips.
