Leek and Potato Soup. Rich. Creamy. Vegan. Scrumptious. Try it with homemade croutons. Mmmmmm.
Leek and Potato Soup
Leek and Potato Soup will warm you up.
Cold weather makes us crave comfort food at our house. Leeks and potatoes just seem to go together, don’t they?
One Saturday Don and I were in Wytheville, Virginia, to do some home repair and yard work at his mom’s house. I made this yummy soup. It was fun to be able to use Momma Betty’s beautiful dishes for our country lunch. Do you have some of your mom’s dishes that you love to use?
Do you ever use a soup tureen? It is a stunning way to efficiently serve soup to a small group. Set the tureen in the middle of the table and designate someone to serve each guest. Add some Homemade Croutons, French Bread and a Green Salad, and you have an amazing supper. Simple peasant fare.
What You Need
For this recipe, you need knives, a cutting board, a good soup pot, a vegetable peeler, and measuring cups and spoons. But what you really want is a cool soup tureen, right?
