Potato/Leek Soup

2 leeks halved length-wise and cut into 1/4" pieces
a clove of garlic
a bit of oil in the bottom of a pot - heated - add the above for 5 minutes or so
a stalk of celery (or two) cut into 1/8" slices added to the pot
cover for a few minutes
32 oz. of chicken broth dumped in, along with 5 or 6 potatoes diced 1/4" cubes, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper
bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer until potatoes are done
add in about 1/2 cup of left-over mashed potatoes and 3/4 ring of Pella ring bologna cut into small pieces (save the rest for eggs tomorrow morning)
continue heating
before serving add 3/4 cup half and half and some chives
give some time to heat back up (don't boil)
