Cut and rinse the leeks, then slice them into crescents
Add the olive oil to a soup pot, and heat over a medium low heat. Add the leeks along with the diced celery and onion then season them with salt and pepper.
Saute for a few minutes until the vegetables soften without letting them brown.
Add the stock, potatoes, herbs de Provence and bay leaves to the pot, season with salt and pepper and then bring it all to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 mins, or until the potatoes have softened then blend the soup using an immersion or high speed blender.
