Рецепт Potato Leek Soup
Anyway, after Robbie Burns day, I decided I should also feature a Welsh dish.
I feel a little guilty. The Welsh have been neglected at the Haggis and the Herring. You'd think they'd put up a bigger stink, but they'd rather just sing a song about it. If Meredith's grandma was still here with us, she certainly would've said something - so this one's for you, Morfydd (a.k.a., Grandma Taffy). Happy Mother's day.
For a second, I contemplated Welsh Cakes (basically pan-fried cookies) since it was more cooking than baking, but they're cookies, so I bailed. I had to go with the quintessential Welsh vegetable - leeks were on the menu.
After some research, I cobbled together a nice potato-leek soup recipe and it was incredible. Butter and cream tends to do that!
