2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter
1 large (1 cup ) leek, sliced
2 medium (4 cups) sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 cups Land O Lakes® Half & Half
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Salt, if desired
Pepper, if desired
*Substitute 1 medium (1 cup) onion, chopped. **Substitute white potatoes or carrots. ***Substitute 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves.
STEP 1
Melt butter in 4-quart saucepan; add leek. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 7-10 minutes or until leek is tender. Add sweet potatoes, chicken broth, garlic and thyme leaves; continue cooking 9-11 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil and sweet potatoes are tender. Stir in chicken and paprika.

- Leeks are related to both garlic and onion, but their flavor is milder. To slice leeks; trim roots and leaf ends. Slit the leek lengthwise from top to bottom and wash thoroughly. Slice or chop as desired. Store refrigerated in resealable plastic food bag up to 5 days.
- Cubed or diced cooked chicken is available in the freezer section of the supermarket.
- Sweet potatoes are available in light and dark skins. The lighter skins have a pale yellow or white interior; those with darker orange skins have a bright orange interior. Either may be used in this recipe.
