Help me please!!! My copy of CL's Potato Leek soup was accidentally thrown away. I believe it was printed before 1995, as I cannot find it listed in the index. If you have this recipe I would be very grateful for it!!

This one wasn't from before 1995 (it's in the May, 2000 issue), but it is a potato leek soup.

CREAMY POTATO-AND-LEEK SOUP

1 tablespoon canola oil
6 cups thinly sliced leek (about 3 large)
8 ounces peeled Yukon gold or red potato, quartered and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
4 cups water
1 cup reduced-fat firm tofu (about 6 ounces)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add leek, and saute 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add potato, 1/2 cup parsley, thyme, salt, and bay leaf. Cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
2. Combine 2 cups potato mixture and tofu in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Return the pureed potato mixture to pan. Stir in 1/2 cup parsley and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 cup).

Hope this helps....
