Leek and Potato Soup


Today I made leek and potato soup from Julia Child's cookbook which is extremely simple in both its ingredient list and cooking techniques. The soup consists only of leeks, potatoes, water, salt, and whipping cream, while the recipe only requires that you boil the vegetables until tender, puree them, check seasonings, and add cream just before serving. Despite the simplicity of this soup, it is a treat to eat with that onion and potato flavour, and richness of cream.


I served this soup for dinner with a delicious green salad tossed with cucumber, celery, blueberries, and strawberries, and some oatmeal molasses bread that I made the other day.Why not eat a simple dinner of soup, salad, and bread?
