Sometimes, it’s nice to have something warming to eat when it’s cold outside, and soup is always one of my go to things to make for anyone. This recipe is nice and simple, and gives a slight twist on the traditional leek and potato soup… Enjoy.
Of course, you don’t need a soupmaker to make this. It makes just as well in a pan, but you need to watch it a lot more and add some more water if it looks like it’s boiling off.
