Freeze or Serve–Potato and Leek Fusion–A Soup that Transcends


I am really excited about this soup!  It is incredibly rich and flavorful; and, even better–it can be made in double or triple portions to freeze for later use.  I really like any recipe I can commit an afternoon to and have MANY meals as a result.  This recipe takes an already great medley of comforting flavors and elevates them to comforting, rich, delicious, and elegant.  I am posting now because where I live in Leesburg, VA:  the time to plant leeks is coming in a couple of weeks.  They are very easy to grow and fresh leeks taste sooooo much better.  This recipe is a great motivator.  It is incredibly nice to defrost a fresh soup in the middle of winter.  Depending on your zone, most others can also grow them this time of year as well so don’t feel left out.  🙂  Please comment below to tell me if you like it as much as we do!!!  This recipe is for a single batch (you can double or triple at will): Continue reading
