Soup Maker Recipe: Cream of Potato and Leek Soup 1.6 Litres

Potato and leek soup is so simple to make that it’s in the pot and cooking in just a few minutes in the soup maker.  I rarely bother with exotic spices and herbs for basic vegetable soups and as this one has cream in it, it isn’t suitable for freezing.  Leave out the cream and add water as a substitute if you plan to freeze.

A Lovely Big Thank You & A Happy New Year

Thank You

I think it’s about time I thanked my readers.  I know a lot of you read on your phones or by e-mail as I send out the full post by mail and don’t make you come to my blog to read.

I’m into my 5th year of blogging and I never expected to still be blogging after all this time.

I see a lot of you coming from Twitter, and I love the fact that Google seems to enjoy our blogs and sends plenty of visitors.

I also have to thank the PR’s and SEO’s and business owners who get in touch, send us some lovely products to review, or sponsor some posts.

I’ve been a lucky mum with my blog and I have had some lovely writing assignments which came from simply blogging.

I wish you all the best New Year that you can possibly all have, and I look forward to another year of blogging from the Scottish Mum home.
