Рецепт Leek and Potato Soup
“Here comes the morning chill
the leaves falling on the ground so still
the beaming sunshine
the soft breeze
kissing me softly on my cheeks
as I sit down by my window
staring at the wonder
of nature in all its splendor
Of birds singing
Of trees swaying
to the tune of the soft Autumn wind”
-Soni
Today we got a glimpse of Autumn when we woke up to cooler temperatures for the first time this season and I instantly decided that I had to make soup for dinner.It just seemed the perfect day to enjoy some warm soup to warm us up.I was also reminded that I had some gorgeous leeks that needed to be used and Leek and Potato Soup came to mind.
I love the simplicity and the delicate balance of flavors that this soup has to offer.Leek and potatoes are a classic combination and with minimal ingredients its just the perfect food to warm and comfort you on a cold night.I’ve tried to make it healthier by omitting cream and just going with 2% milk and water combo.You could also use stock instead of water.Its ready in no time and is always popular with kid and adults.Enjoy!
