With only a few pounds of potatoes left in my 10 lb bag, here is the 3rd potato recipe on my list. As a recap, we were able to do homemade potato chips and crispy homemade French fries; this hearty recipe will be next on our list.
Most of the soup recipes that we already posted require meats such as pork, chicken, and beef. I think that it’s time for us to publish vegetable soup recipes for a change. Potato and Leek Soup is a quick and easy soup recipe that even non-cooks can make. A blender by your side will be handy since this recipe will require you to use one.
I love the taste of this soup. If you ask me to describe this in one word, I would probably choose the word “heavenly”. Why? Give it a try and you’ll know.
