Given my deep-seated gratitude for pre-washed salad greens, it surprises me how much I love cleaning leeks.
Each pocket or smudge of dirt is revealed by peeling back the leaves. AHA! Found you! Only fingers and running water are involved. What a satisfying task!
Knowing that there will be potato leek soup is another reward, of course.
I used the New York Times cooking app recipe but it’s a very simple soup: two leeks and a garlic clove sautéed in butter (I used half olive oil, half butter), four cups diced potatoes (Yukon Golds are good), a good dumping of stock (yesterday I used box stock, not my top choice but good enough), S&P. Cook til soft and blend into a thick liquid (I use an immersion blender). Add cup of heavy cream and carefully bring back to temp. Delish!
If your vascular system can tolerate, more salt at serving. Potatoes always require more salt, IMHO.
Dee~ My first thought upon seeing the title was that this could be a good name for your next book! Over here we play the band/stage/album name…but books works too 😁
Your soup sounds yummy and such a pretty bowl to be enjoying it from.
Be well
Funny. Loved your Wordle stories this week BTW. They are so colorful and precise.
Thanks for the feedback Dee 🙂
Not a big fan of cold weather but do love soups … winter and I have a bit of a love hate relationship. My downfall with soups is I like the garlic bread I make to go with it. Not the healthiest 😢
